Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid.
While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.

PURITO Deep Sea Pure Water Cream 31 ingredients
It a nice lightweight moisturizer, but it broke me out.
Not bad, not great either. It hydrates my skin, but only a little. My face also starts feeling a bit more greasy than normal after a few hours. It does feel light on the skin when applying and doesn't feel sticky. Overall a bit pricey for what it does.
Edit; didn't realise it contains silicones 👎
