Caprylic Capric Triglyceride – CCTG / CCT

SYNONYMS : Glycerol Tricaprylate/ Caprate; Medium Chain Triglycerides; Caprylic/ Capric Triglyceride Manufactured by reacting fractionated fatty acids (mainly caprylic and capric acids) with refined glycerin; both raw materials derived from palm-based oils. The product is essentially odorless. CAS NO : 65381-09-1 / 73398-61-5 EINECS NO : 265-724- / 277-452-2 INCI: Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides USAGE RATE: 0.5 to 5 % FUNCTIONS : Emulsifier, Acid, Dispersant, Fragrance, Flavor, Additive, Lubricant INDUSTRY : Flavor, Cosmetic, Pharmaceutical, Fragrance CCTG is a light-textured, very clear, odorless, non-staining and non-greasy liquid oil with an almost indefinite shelf life. It is easily absorbed into skin making it an excellent carrier oil for massage oils and essential oils. It is light enough to spray through a pump sprayer. Its stability makes it an excellent emollient for lotions and creams. Regular coconut oil contains many long chain fatty acids (or triglycerides), is solid at room temperature and subject to oxidation (creating the possibility of rancidity). CCT may be substituted for some of the more fragile vegetable oils that tend to become rancid and for some of the more expensive carrier oils to keep costs under control.
