AU$159.50

Product Description


Ingredients: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

 

INCI Name:  Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

This is ingredient is both similar to and different from fractionated coconut oil.  While fractionated coconut oil takes whole coconut oil and seperates out the light-weight, liquid triglycerides (C8-C10), MCT oil is made by starting with Glycerin then building C8 and C10 triglycerides in an ordered and controlled way.  

Benefits:  Carrier for flavours, fragrance (including essential oils) or colours, light-weight emollient, high stability, crystal clear.
   
Applications: Typical usage is between 1-100%. 

This emollient is used to enhanse the performance of flavour, fragrance and/or colour additives helping boost their solubility and efficacy through a formula.

In addition it provides emollience to formulations and can help enhanse the performance of skin care actives. It is used as a natural solvent in many formulations and can also help prevent moisture loss in a formulation.

Origin: Vegetable (coconut or palm kernels) See this article for our position on Palm Oil and Sustainability.

Solubility:  In mineral oil, vegetable oil and alcohol.Insoluble in water.
