Description
Description
Lipid (triester) composed of glycerin, caprylic & capric fatty acids. It is based on saturated even-numbered, unbranched natural fatty acids of vegetable origin. Please note that triglyceride is not the same as fractionated coconut oil. Triglyceride is a special esterification of oils using caprylic and capric fatty acids, whereas fractionated coconut oil is made by distilling coconut oil. Required HLB value is 11.
Benefits
  • Exceptional low-viscosity emollient and lubricant leaving a soft and non-greasy feel on the skin due to its low melting point
  • Improves spreading of creams and lotions
  • Excellent vehicle and solvent for lipophilic active ingredients and UV filters (improves their effectiveness)
  • It is free from antioxidants and other stabilizing additives
  • Approved for use in NSF/ANSI Standard 305 certified products
Use
Can be added to formulas as is. Add to oil phase of formula. Usual final concentration 5-50%. For external use only.
