Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid.

The squalene in olive oil makes it a great emollient. Emollients help soothe and soften your skin by trapping moisture in. This makes olive oil a great skin moisturizer.
Studies show olive oil to have antibacterial and antifungal properties in low concentrations. Another study found olive oil irritated sensitive oily skin. We always recommend speaking with a professional about using this ingredient in your routine.

I also like how I can cut down on my other hydrating products since this is soooo moisturizing. This to me really is an all-in-one product that does pretty much everything. I love Krave for developing Show more
