Our Caprylic Capric Triglycerides (MCT Oil) is palm-free.
Caprylic/capric triglyceride is derived from coconut oil and glycerin used in cosmetic as a skin-conditioning agent, emollient and solvent . It is known for being a lightweight, non-greasy ingredient that moisturizes the skin, improves the texture of products like lotions and creams, and helps other ingredients spread more easily and remain stable. It is generally considered safe, non-comedogenic, and suitable for all skin types
Not all commercially available MCT Oils are produced solely from coconuts. Some MCT products may be produced using unsustainable rapeseed and/or palm oils.
To produce our MCT Oil, a process called esterification is used. Coconut oil is first hydrolyzed to yield the medium chain fatty acids and glycerol. The glycerol is reserved, and the fatty acids undergo distillation to separate them into fractions of different chain lengths. The C8 Caprylic Acid and C10 Capric Acid fractions are then re-esterified with glycerol to form MCT Oil. The oil is then filtered and deodorized.
