What is Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (CCTG)?
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (CCTG) is a clear, odorless, non-greasy oil derived from coconut oil and glycerin. It is a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) widely used in skincare, haircare, and cosmetic formulations for its excellent emollient, moisturizing, and solubilizing properties.
This versatile ingredient is a lightweight ester that spreads easily, leaving a silky-smooth, non-oily feel on the skin. CCTG enhances the texture, stability, and shelf-life of personal care products and acts as a natural alternative to mineral oils and silicones. It is completely biodegradable, non-irritating, and suitable for all skin types.
