What It Is

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is a specialised ester derived from the reaction of coconut oil-derived fatty acids with glycerin. It belongs to a category of compounds known as triglycerides, which serve as excellent emollients in skincare formulations. This ingredient is prized for its ability to mimic the skin's natural lipids, enhancing moisture retention and providing a smooth, non-greasy finish. Scientifically, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is composed of eight-carbon (caprylic) and ten-carbon (capric) fatty acids. These medium-chain triglycerides are highly stable and resistant to oxidation, making them ideal for use in a variety of skincare products. The structure allows it to easily penetrate the skin, delivering moisture and nutrients effectively.

Why Therapists Prescribe It

Therapists at Stephanies® Luxury Spas favour Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride for its exceptional ability to hydrate without overwhelming the skin. Its non-comedogenic properties make it suitable for all skin types, including those prone to acne or congestion. This ingredient offers a luxurious sensory experience, leaving the skin feeling exceptionally smooth and soft. The versatility of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride allows therapists to incorporate it into a variety of treatments, from soothing massages to enriching facial therapies. Its ability to enhance the delivery of other active ingredients ensures that clients receive the maximum benefits from their spa treatments.
