Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Hydrating
These ingredients help hydrate the skin by either drawing in moisture or preventing it from escaping. They’re often used to keep skin feeling soft, smooth, and well-balanced.
Explained
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.
While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.
