Caprylic Capric Triglyceride is a lightweight, oil-soluble cosmetic ingredient commonly used in skincare, haircare, and personal care formulations. Derived from glycerin and caprylic and capric fatty acids, it acts as an emollient, helping soften the skin and improve the texture and spreadability of cosmetic products.
