Capric Caprylic Trig. (CCT/MCT) 50ml

R49.00

Caprylic Capric Triglycerides are a specific fraction of coconut / palm oil fatty acids resulting in only the more stable, and skin loving, caprylic & capric fatty acids which creates a dry, silky oil form of esters.

Caprylic Capric Triglycerides (CCT) are mistakenly called Fractionated Coconut Oil.

Caprylic Capric Triglycerides are specialized esterification of Coconut Oil using just the Caprylic and Capric Fatty Acids, while Fractionated Coconut Oil is a standard, distillation of Coconut Oil which results in a combination of all of the fatty acids, pulled through the distillation process.

Fractionated Coconut Oil has the same feel, and performance, of traditional vegetable oils with a lighter feel and extended shelf life, than most common carrier oils.

Caprylic Capric Triglycerides do not feel like a standard carrier oil, at all.

Caprylic Capric Triglycerides are an ester and have a very light, silky oil, feel that is not at all greasy/oily feeling on the skin.

Description

In skincare applications Caprylic Capric Triglycerides offer several key benefits:

they offer a noticeable silkiness in products, they exhibit excellent anti-oxidant properties to extend the natural shelf life, they offer skin nurturing benefits due to the skin-loving nature of the specific fatty acid esters, not seen with common Fractionated Coconut Oil, or other carrier oils, and they are especially suited to sensitive skin and oily skin.

Caprylic Capric Triglycerides offers low viscosity and excellent oxidative stability, and anti-oxidant protection, with an unlimited shelf life.

Caprylic Capric Triglyceride are efficient solvents and therefore, act as carriers for fat-soluble vitamins and actives. Their emollient properties enable Caprylic Capric Triglycerides to improve the esthetics of topical products while functioning as a component of the delivery system. Caprylic Capric Triglycerides may also be used to help solubilize actives that are not readily soluble in traditional carrier oils. Caprylic Capric Triglycerides is a perfect vehicle for using Alpha Lipoic Acid, to keep it in solution. To do this add 10% Alpha Lipoic Acid to 90% Caprylic Capric Triglycerides, mixing to combine and then add this solution to your product at cool down. Do not apply heat, once you’ve added the solution, which will cause the Alpha Lipoic Acid to fall out of solution.
