Caprylic/capric triglyceride has a range of uses in cosmetic, skin care, and hair care products. It rapidly penetrates the skin and hair to provide maximum benefits.

Skin care: Its main function is moisturizing and hydrating the skin. It forms a barrier on the skin to prevent further water loss, thus leaving it supple. In skin care, it also acts as an anti-aging ingredient by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

Hair care: It offers similar hydrating properties. Since it is made of rich oils like palm and coconut, Caprylic/capric triglyceride leaves the hair silky smooth and reduces the problem of hair tangling.

-- Emollients Emollients work to make your skin softer. Emollients work by trapping moisture in the skin and forming a protective layer so moisture cannot escape. Caprylic triglyceride is a commonly used emollient ingredient in cosmetic products.

--Dispersants Dispersants have the ability to keep ingredients in a formula stable together. Mixing the active ingredients, colorants or fragrances in a good dispersant prevents the ingredients from clumping together or sinking to the bottom of the mixture. The dense nature of caprylic triglycerides makes them an excellent dispersant.

--Solvents Solvents are ingredients that can dissolve or break the bonds of some other ingredient or compound. An ingredient is considered a solvent based on its molecular structure and shape and how it interacts with other substances. Caprylic triglycerides can solubilize compounds so that they mix together. While some solvents have toxic components, caprylic triglycerides are relatively safe.

--Antioxidants Antioxidants are substances that have the ability to neutralize free radicals or harmful substances that you come into contact with on a daily basis. Antioxidants help prevent oxidation, which can age your skin and harm your body. Caprylic triglycerides are packed with antioxidants, so they play a role in preserving your skin and helping you feel younger.
