It rapidly penetrates the skin and hair to provide maximum benefits.
Skin care: Its main function is moisturizing and hydrating the skin.
It forms a barrier on the skin to prevent further water loss, thus leaving it supple.
In skin care, it also acts as an anti-aging ingredient by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Hair care: It offers similar hydrating properties.
Since it is made of rich oils like palm and coconut, Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride leaves the hair silky smooth and reduces the problem of hair tangling
Origin
Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride is made from the fatty acids found in coconut oil.
Firstly, pressure and heat are applied to the oil to separate fatty acids and glycerol.
The separated fatty acids further undergo an esterification process.
The clear liquid (or oil) that results is known as Caprylic or Capric triglyceride.
Even though it is made of naturally occurring substances, it cannot be called natural as it undergoes many chemical procedures.
Caprylic-capric acid is obtained from fractionation of a lauric-type oil.
The product obtained has a melting point of about 7 ° C.
When in liquid form, it is almost colourless and with a characteristic odour.
Also known as MCT (medium chain triglyceride).
OCTANOIC/DECANOIC ACID TRIGLYCERIDE has an almost equal composition of caprylic and capric acids.
Fractionated fatty acids are mainly applied to the manufacture of: Amines, esters, fatty alcohols, peroxides, fragrances, flavors, surface finishing, lubricants, metal soaps, cosmetics, animal feed, chemical, paper, plastics, detergents, chemicals, resins and coatings.
WILFAESTER MCT is triglyceride derived from glycerol and 3 medium chain fatty acids (C8 - C10).
Properties of the natural ingredient makes it suitable for use in various applications.
Fast Spreading, light skin feel - personal care ingredient
Oxidative stability, low viscosity, clean organoleptic quality - solvent for flavour, pharmaceautical, lubricant

OCTANOIC/DECANOIC ACID TRIGLYCERIDE Prevents too great a relipidizing effect
OCTANOIC/DECANOIC ACID TRIGLYCERIDE is a mixed ester composed of caprylic and capric fatty acids attached to a glycerin backbone.
Octanoic/Decanoic Acid 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.
Chemically speaking, fats and oils are made up mostly of triglycerides whose fatty acids are chains ranging from 6–12 carbon atoms, in this case the ester is comprised of capric (10 carbon atoms) and caprylic (8 carbon atoms).
Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglycerides are a specialized esterification of Coconut Oil using just the Caprylic and Capric Fatty Acids, while Fractionated Coconut Oil is a, standard, distillation of Coconut Oil which results in a combination of all of the fatty acids, pulled through the distillation process.
OCTANOIC/DECANOIC ACID TRIGLYCERIDE is non-greasy and light weight.
It comes in the form of an oily liquid and mainly works as an emollient, dispersing agent and solvent.
OCTANOİC/DECANOİC ACİD TRİGLYCERİDE BENEFITS:
Caprylic triglycerides are compounds made of naturally occurring fatty acids.
They’re a clear liquid and slightly sweet to the taste.
The high fat content in triglycerides, along with their texture and antioxidant qualities, make them of particular use for soap and skin care products.
Emollient
Emollients are ingredients that soften your skin.
Emollients work by trapping moisture in your skin and forming a protective layer so the moisture can’t escape.
Caprylic triglyceride is an effective skin-softening ingredient.
Dispersing agent
Dispersing agents are the parts of any chemical or organic compound that hold the ingredients together and stabilize them.
Mixing other active ingredients, pigments, or scents in a good dispersing agent keeps the ingredients from clumping together or sinking to the bottom of the mixture.
The waxy and thick consistency of caprylic triglycerides make them an excellent dispersing agent.
Solvent
Solvents are ingredients that can dissolve, or break apart, certain ingredients or compounds.
Ingredients are solvents based on how their molecules are structured and shaped, and how they interact with other substances.
Caprylic triglyceride can dissolve compounds that are designed to clump together.
While some solvents have toxic ingredients, caprylic triglyceride doesn’t carry those risks.
Antioxidant:
Antioxidants work to neutralize toxins you’re exposed to every day in your environment.
Antioxidants stop the chain reaction called oxidation, which can age your skin and take a toll on your body.
Caprylic triglyceride is full of antioxidants that help preserve your skin and help you feel younger.
Octanoic/Decanoic Acid Triglyceride uses:
Caprylic triglyceride can be found in topical skin care products that you use on and around your face.
It’s used to:
boost the shelf life of these products
add a sheen to your skin that’s light and non-greasy
boost the antioxidants in the product
These products include:
moisturizing face creams
anti-aging serums
sunscreens
eye creams
OCTANOİC/DECANOİC ACİD TRİGLYCERİDE IN COSMETICS

The ingredient keeps pigments evenly distributed in a cosmetic formula without causing a sticky feeling on your skin.
You’ll often see this ingredient listed in these cosmetics:
lipstick
lip balm
lip liner
cream-based and liquid foundations
eye liner
Caprylic capric triglycerides, often found in our daily skincare products, are an essential ingredient that few truly understand.
These molecules, derived from fatty acids, play a crucial role not only in the cosmetic industry but also in the field of health, particularly in relation to problems such as high triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and cardiovascular diseases.
Definition and origin of Caprylic Capric Triglyceride
Caprylic capric triglycerides, also known as medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), are esters derived from caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10).
These compounds are mainly extracted from coconut oil or palm kernel oil , through a process of hydrolysis followed by esterification.
The result is an oily, odorless and colorless substance, which is very stable and resistant to oxidation.
Caprylic Capric Triglyceride can also come from biotechnology .
This is actually what we use at VIBRE!
Biotechnology involves the use of microorganisms, enzymes, or biological processes to create or modify products, including compounds such as caprylic capric triglyceride.
Here are some biotechnology methods that can be used:
Microbial fermentation: Certain strains of yeast or bacteria can be genetically engineered to produce medium-chain fatty acids like caprylic acid and capric acid from simple substrates like sugars.
These acids can then be transformed into triglycerides by esterification.
Use of enzymes: Specific enzymes can catalyze the synthesis reaction of triglycerides from free fatty acids and glycerol.
This process can be controlled to specifically produce medium chain triglycerides.
Plant cell culture: Some plants naturally produce medium-chain fatty acids.
Cultivating plant cells or tissues in the laboratory may be a method to produce these fatty acids without requiring the complete cultivation of the plant, reducing environmental impact.
Caprylic capric triglyceride can therefore be produced by biotechnology, offering a promising and sustainable alternative to traditional methods.
What is this ingredient used for in cosmetics?
In cosmetics, caprylic capric triglycerides are appreciated for their numerous properties.
Emollient
Caprylic capric triglycerides are excellent for softening and smoothing the skin.
As an emollient, they help strengthen the skin barrier, which reduces moisture loss and keeps skin hydrated.
This makes them particularly useful in lotions, creams and balms for dry skin.
Texturing Agent
This compound gives a feeling of softness and lightness when applied to the skin.
It helps create formulations that are neither too oily nor too thick, making it ideal for products intended to be absorbed quickly without leaving a greasy residue.
Dispersant
Caprylic capric triglycerides can help dissolve other ingredients that are difficult to mix.
This makes them useful as carrier agents for vitamins, plant extracts and other additives that benefit from uniform distribution in a cosmetic formula.
Stabilizer
They contribute to the stability of formulations by preventing the separation of ingredients.
This guarantees a uniform consistency of the product, from manufacturing to application by the consumer.
Non-comedogenic
Unlike other oils and fats, caprylic capric triglycerides are non-comedogenic, meaning they do not clog pores.
This makes them suitable for products intended for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Solubilizer
They can also function as solubilizers, helping to incorporate insoluble or difficult-to-solubilize substances into a solution.
This is particularly useful for formulating clear or transparent products.
als for formulations of creams, lotions, and other beauty products.
