Caprylic Capric Triglyceride (CCTG)

Caprylic Capric Triglyceride (CCT) is a mixed triester derived from the fatty acids of coconut oil and glycerin. It is a lightweight, non-greasy, and fast-absorbing emollient widely used in skincare and cosmetic formulations. Known for its skin-conditioning properties, it provides a silky, smooth texture to products and enhances the delivery of active ingredients. Caprylic Capric Triglyceride is stable, non-comedogenic, and commonly used as a natural alternative to synthetic emollients.

Applications:

• Skincare: Used in lotions, creams, serums, and oils for its moisturizing, emollient, and skin-conditioning properties. It helps to smooth and soften the skin without leaving a greasy residue.
• Cosmetics: Found in foundations, lipsticks, and other makeup products to provide a silky texture and improve product spreadability.
• Haircare: Used in shampoos, conditioners, and hair oils to improve manageability, add shine, and prevent dryness.
• Fragrance Dilution: Serves as a carrier oil in perfumes and essential oils due to its neutral odor and lightweight feel.
• Pharmaceuticals: Functions as a solvent or carrier for active ingredients in topical treatments and ointments.

Handling and Storage:

• Handling: Avoid contact with eyes and skin during large-scale handling. Wear gloves and safety goggles if necessary. Ensure proper ventilation in the work area to avoid inhalation.
• Storage: Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep away from oxidizing agents and sources of ignition. Ideal storage temperature is below 25°C (77°F). Protect from freezing.
