Used in creams, lotions, and other skincare products, they improve texture, provide lasting hydration and strengthen the skin barrier. Non-comedogenic and well tolerated by the skin, C10-18 Triglycerides are a popular choice in sensitive skin products and natural formulations.

Where do C10-18 triglycerides come from?

C10-18 Triglycerides are derived from natural vegetable oils, primarily coconut or palm oil. These oils undergo a fractionation process to isolate specific medium chain fatty acids (C10-C18), which are then converted into triglycerides. This process guarantees high purity and consistent quality, suitable for cosmetic formulations. The triglycerides obtained are biodegradable, compatible with organic formulations, and environmentally friendly when they come from certified sustainable sources.
