- Description
- Neutral MCT Caprylis oil is a light plant-based emollient for the oil phase that softens the skin without leaving a greasy film. In a formulation it forms the base of the oil phase, serves as a carrier for oil-active ingredients and essential oils, and reduces the heavy feel of richer butters and oils. Its oxidation stability and low inherent scent make it suitable for facial, body, and baby cosmetics. It is produced by esterification of saturated medium-chain fatty acids ( caprylic C8 and capric C10 ) from coconut and palm kernel oil with plant-based glycerin . The resulting triglyceride behaves like an oil but contains no unsaturated bonds. It therefore does not yellow or turn rancid as easily as conventional pressed oils. Key benefits Light, non-greasy feel – spreads at a moderate pace, the skin absorbs it readily, and the finish after absorption is smooth rather than shiny. Oxidation resistance – saturated fatty acids do not change colour or scent, so the finished product yellows less and retains its original character longer. Neutral scent – does not interfere with the product's fragrance, making it suitable for delicate scent compositions as well as unscented products. Stays liquid in cold conditions – does not solidify at normal storage and transport temperatures, so oil serums and roll-ons remain clear. Solvent for oil-soluble components – dissolves fat-soluble vitamins, oil extracts, essential oils, and fragrance compositions. Skin compatibility – suitable for all skin types including sensitive, baby, and acne-prone skin, in both leave-on and rinse-off products. Usfull description on the product page →
