Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Fractionated Coconut Oil
What is Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride?
Fractionated coconut oil is like coconut oil that went to finishing school—all the nourishing benefits but none of the potential drawbacks. Through a process that removes the larger fatty acids, what remains is a clear, lightweight oil that stays liquid at room temperature. Imagine all the moisturizing power of coconut oil engineered to never clog pores or go rancid. It's the skincare equivalent of having your cake and eating it too—the perfect carrier oil that delivers other active ingredients deeper into the skin while adding its own barrier-supporting benefits. For skincare beginners worried about using oils, caprylic/capric triglyceride offers that perfect introduction—all of the good stuff, none of the complications.
