Caprylic/Capric triglycerides are sometimes erroneously referred to as fractionated coconut oil, which is similar in composition but typically refers to coconut oil that has had its longer chain triglycerides removed.
Caprylic/capric triglyceride is a super smooth ingredient that locks in moisture on the skin and hair without leaving them greasy or oily. This ingredient is found in a large variety of cosmetic and skin care products such as lipstick, eyeliners, and moisturizers. It is also an antioxidant that protects the skin and preserves the product it is added in. Even though it is derived from oils, Caprylic/capric triglyceride is not comedogenic and does not cause acne or breakouts.
