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 shade, $ellout, is so gorgeous and underrated. granted, i’m not sure if it works for other undertones, but it’s a really flattering shade on my fair-light olive/yellow skin. not to mention, the lustreglass formula is also awesome. it has a beautiful shine and is incredibly comfortable on the lips.
