This ingredient is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.

It helps thicken a product's formula and makes it easier to spread by dissolving clumping compounds.

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

My first cleansing balm which really cleanse my pore thoroughly and all of my white heads will appear on my finger tips once im done rubbing it on my skin. It has a milky finish as soon as it’s in contact with water. Really love this product. 🤩

It does have a nice scent of smell, ice cream
I suppose. But it did not bother me much, just love how my skin is after i double cleanse it.

The jar comes with a removable spatula built into Show more

It was sold to me as being very good for sensitive skin and skin with acne, that it would make our blackheads go away and deep clean our ports and sebaceous filaments, I tested many cleansing oils and almost all of them gave me breakouts.
It's said that if you cleanse well, emulsify correctly and Show more
