Everything you need to know about Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is a fast-absorbing, stable emollient derived from coconut oil and glycerin. It softens the skin, improves spreadability and helps dissolve other ingredients without a heavy or greasy feel.
What are the benefits of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride for the skin?
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride helps smooth the skin’s surface, leaving it softer and less rough.
It also improves slip and comfort as the product is applied.
When should you use Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Skincare containing Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride can be used in both morning and evening routines. Consistent use matters more than choosing a particular time of day.
Apply products from the lightest to the richest texture, finishing with moisturizer. In the morning, complete the routine with sunscreen to help protect the results of your skincare.
Is Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride suitable for sensitive skin
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride can be used by a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin, when formulated at an appropriate level. It does not work by exfoliating the skin.
Comfort still depends on the complete product. Perform a patch test before regular use if your skin is highly sensitive or easily reactive.
Can Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride be used with other actives?
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride can be used in formulas with Shea Butter, Ceramide NP, Tocopherol, and Hyaluronic Acid. This combination does not require a special waiting period unless the product directions say otherwise.
These pairings can complement hydration, barrier care, or targeted treatment. Introduce the routine gradually if it also contains strong active ingredients.
