Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.
Within a product, Caprylic Triglyceride can thicken the product and make spreadability easier by dissolving clumping compounds. An added benefit of Caprylic Triglyceride is its antioxidant properties.
Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid. Caprylic Triglyceride has not been found to be toxic for human use in concentrations under 50%.
While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.

This is my all time favorite sunscreen with absolutely no flaws, but ma:nyo decided to reformulate this masterpiece, change the name and add alcohol, get rid of the added collagen and centella and made it absolutely worse. It blended perfectly into the skin, had no fragrance or sunscreen smell, left a dewy yet not greasy and you could put tons of layers of this sunscreen on ur face and it wouldn't peel - absolutely gorgeous!!

Really liked this product, except for one problem - it stings my eyes like crazy.
It applies really nicely and absorbs well into my skin, but after a few hours of wearing this sunscreen I start getting extreme eye stinging.
I've since moved to using Supergoop's Mineral Sheerscreen, so I think it is one of the chemical filters in this one that causes my eyes to sting.
If you don't get eye stinging from this product, it is a pretty great sunscreen! (but expensive)
