It is a triglyceride derived from medium-chain fatty acids (C8–C10), obtained through esterification with plant-based glycerin. Unlike heavier natural emollients, CCT is non-greasy, improves spreadability, and leaves a dry, velvety finish similar to that of volatile silicones. If you're looking for a general overview of this ingredient’s characteristics, we recommend reading the previous article: 🔗 [Capric/Caprylic Triglyceride – Benefits and uses in cosmetics](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/ecsa-chemicals/caprylic-capric-triglyceride-benefits-and-uses-in-cosmetics)   ## Why formulators choose it: technical focus [Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/product/mp-035206-2/) is highly valued in cosmetic labs for its ability to: - Replace D5/D6 and cyclic silicones in clean beauty formulations - Deliver lipophilic actives like essential oils, UV filters, or vitamins A/E - Improve skin compatibility in leave-on emulsions - Enhance physical stability in O/W emulsions and anhydrous systems ![caprylic-capric-triglyceride\_ecsa\_400x400](https://blog.ecsa-chemicals.ch/hs-fs/hubfs/Chemicals/Making%20cosmetics/caprylic-capric-triglyceride_ecsa_400x400.jpg?width=400&height=400&name=caprylic-capric-triglyceride_ecsa_400x400.jpg) ## Specific fields of application ### Clean-label facial and body care Improves spreadability and reduces greasiness in moisturizers, anti-aging creams, soothing treatments, and baby care products. ### Long-lasting makeup and primers Used in foundations, BB creams, and primers to improve pigment distribution and skin feel without weighing down the texture. ### Sunscreens and after-sun care Thanks to its compatibility with lipophilic UV filters, it enhances distribution and reduces oiliness in sprays and sun milks. ### Anhydrous formulations and oleogels Ideal for massage oils, lip balms, body butters, and waterless serums thanks to its fluid, non-occlusive texture.   ## Regulatory compliance, quality, and availability Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is: -
