Caprylic/Capric/Succinic Triglyceride
What Caprylic/Capric/Succinic Triglyceride is & what it does
A lightweight, coconut-derived emollient that softens skin and acts as a solvent for oil-soluble filters and antioxidants. It absorbs cleanly without a heavy residue.
What does Caprylic/Capric/Succinic Triglyceride do in skincare?
Caprylic/Capric/Succinic Triglyceride is an emollient and skin-conditioning agent derived from fatty acids and succinic acid. In a formula it softens the skin, improves spreadability, and gives products a light, smooth feel while helping carry oil-soluble ingredients evenly.
Is Caprylic/Capric/Succinic Triglyceride safe?
Caprylic/Capric/Succinic Triglyceride is widely used in cosmetics as an emollient and is generally considered well tolerated on skin. As with any ingredient, individual sensitivity is possible, so anyone with very reactive skin may want to patch test a new product first.
Is Caprylic/Capric/Succinic Triglyceride natural or synthetic?
It is typically described as a nature-derived ingredient processed in the lab. The fatty acid portion usually comes from plant oils such as coconut or palm, which are then combined with succinic and glycerin components to form the final triglyceride.
