Dermaskin Labs Caprylic Capric Triglycerides Cosmetic-Grade Ultra-Purified MCT Oil — Lightweight Non-Greasy Emollient

Dermaskin Labs Caprylic Capric Triglycerides is a 100% cosmetic-grade, ultra-purified emollient derived from coconut oil that gives creams, serums, lotions, and hair oils a silky, non-greasy feel.

This refined ester is designed for formulators and DIY makers who want a stable, odorless carrier that improves spreadability and skin sensory without heaviness. Produced from caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) fatty acids, it offers a lighter, more cosmetically elegant alternative to food-grade MCT oils. Because it’s colorless, non-comedogenic, and highly stable, it blends easily into a wide variety of skincare and haircare recipes, enhancing texture and product performance.

How will this ingredient change the feel of my creams and lotions?

Adding Dermaskin Labs Caprylic Capric Triglycerides refines texture and reduces tackiness, producing a dry, silky finish that absorbs quickly. It enhances glide and helps active ingredients spread evenly across skin without leaving a residue.

• Use at 3–15% in creams and lotions for improved slip and finish.
• Leaves a non-greasy, matte sensation ideal for daytime products.
• Boosts stability and reduces the greasy after-feel of heavier oils.

Can I use this as a carrier oil for serums and essential oils?

Yes—this cosmetic-grade triglyceride is an excellent carrier: it disperses essential oils and actives, improving skin compatibility and absorption. Because it’s odorless and colorless, it won’t mask fragrance profiles or alter product color.

• Recommended 10–30% in facial oils and serums for balanced texture.
• Supports even dilution of essential oils and concentrates.
• Non-comedogenic and suitable for many skin types, including oily and sensitive.

How does Caprylic Capric Triglycerides compare to conventional MCT oil?

Although both originate from coconut oil, Dermaskin Labs’ Caprylic Capric Triglycerides is a cosmetic-grade fraction composed specifically of C8 and C10 acids and is more refined for topical use. It resists oxidation better, has a lighter sensory profile, and is formulated for cosmetic stability rather than dietary consumption.

• Cleaner, lighter profile vs. broader-chain MCT food oils.
• Improved oxidative stability for longer shelf life in products.
• No greasy residue—optimized for beauty formulations.

What are practical usage rates and product applications?

Usage depends on product type: small amounts refine creams while higher percentages create lightweight facial oils or massage blends. It’s versatile across skincare, makeup removers, sunscreens, hair conditioners, and body oils.

• 3–15% in creams and lotions for texture enhancement.
• 10–30% in facial oils and serums for balance and spreadability.
• Up to 50% in massage or cleansing oils where a lightweight glide is desired.

Who this product is for: formulators, indie skincare brands, and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, cosmetic-grade emollient to improve texture, stability, and skin feel. It suits all skin types, especially those seeking a non-greasy finish, and is ideal for anyone creating natural or professional-grade creams, serums, hair treatments, and cleansing oils. Dermaskin Labs Caprylic Capric Triglycerides is vegan, cruelty-free, biodegradable, and crafted to blend cleanly with oils, esters, and emulsifiers—making it a practical choice for both small-batch artisans and laboratory R&D teams.
