Caprylic triglyceride, or capric triglyceride, is a compound that combines fatty acids from natural oils, such as coconut oil, with glycerin.
Soaps and cosmetics sometimes include caprylic triglyceride as an ingredient.
Although some companies market caprylic triglyceride as a natural ingredient, this is misleading, as it undergoes several manufacturing processes before appearing in products.

Molecular Weight: C55H112O11
Capric acid is also known as decanoic acid and caprylic acid is also known as octanoic acid.
To isolate these fatty acids they are separated from the glycerine compound and the other fatty acids present in the coconut or palm oil.
This is usually achieved by steam hydrolysis where intense heat and pressure is applied to break apart the structure of the oil.
The capric & caprylic acids are then isolated from the other fatty acids and combined together with the glycerine compound by a process called ‘esterification’ to form the ingredient ‘Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride (CCT)e’.

Capric acid/caprylic triglyceride is one of the cleanest ingredients that you can find as a natural alternative to chemical ingredients.
Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride (CCT) is derived from coconut oil and glycerin and is considered an excellent emollient and skin-replenishing ingredient.
Of note, Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglycerides (CCT) mix of fatty acids replenish skin’s surface and help it to resist moisture loss.
Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride (CCT) can also function as a thickener or penetration enhancer, but its chief job is to moisturize and replenish skin.
Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride (CCT)’s value for skin is made greater by the fact that it’s considered gentle.
Uses of Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride (CCT):
-The unique mix of fatty acids helps to repair the hairs surface and retain moisture in curly hair.
-Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride (CCT) creates a barrier on the hair's surface, decreasing the amount of moisture lost.
-Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride (CCT) not only prevent dryness of the hair and skin, but it also acts as a hair conditioning agent.
-Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglycerides (CCT) produces a noticeable silkiness in products.
-Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride (CCT) is considered non-sensitising, therefore it is perfect for sensitive skin.
-Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglycerides (CCT) is especially suited to sensitive scalps.
-Plant derived
-Biodegradable

As a raw material Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride (CCT) is clear, non-viscous liquid.
Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride (CCT) is known to improve to the spreadability of formula.
Safety assessments have deemed Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride (CCT)e safe in cosmetic formulations in concentrations below 50%, with reported uses varying between 0.1% to 35%.
Despite what is often purported on the internet skin care advice sites, there is no research showing Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride (CCT) is “comedogenic” or pore clogging.
Theoretically, because its molecular weight of 408 is below 500 Daltons, Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride (CCT) technically has the ability to penetrate the pore lining, but even that doesn’t inherently mean it will clog pores.
