CCTG (Capric Caprylic Triglyceride) Chemical, commonly known as Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, is a multifunctional cosmetic ingredient valued for its excellent emollient, skin-conditioning and spreading properties.
It is derived from fatty acids and glycerin and is commonly incorporated into modern cosmetic formulations to provide a light, non-heavy and silky skin feel. CCTG can improve the application and spreadability of formulations while helping provide a smooth finish.
Because of its versatile formulation properties, CCTG is widely used in face creams, moisturizers, body lotions, facial serums, massage products, sunscreens, makeup products, cleansing formulations and hair-care products.
It is also useful as a carrier/emollient component in formulations containing oil-soluble active ingredients, botanical extracts, fragrances and other cosmetic ingredients, subject to compatibility testing.
