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

Caprylic Capric Triglycerides from Dermaskin Labs is a 100% pure, ultra-refined cosmetic emollient derived from coconut oil that delivers a silky, non-greasy feel and improves spreadability in creams, serums, and hair oils.

This premium, cosmetic-grade MCT ester is formulated for professional and DIY skincare and haircare makers who want a stable, odorless, and colorless carrier oil that absorbs quickly without leaving residue. Ultra-purified to contain primarily C8 and C10 fatty acid esters, it offers a lighter sensory profile than typical food-grade MCT oils and is suitable across a wide range of formulations from lotions to facial serums.

How does Dermaskin Labs Caprylic Capric Triglycerides improve product texture?

It functions as an elegant emollient that enhances glide and spreadability, giving creams and serums a silky finish without heavy or oily after-feel. Because it’s fast-absorbing and non-greasy, it elevates the sensory impression of both leave-on and rinse-off products.

• Provides a dry, luxurious skin feel that reduces tackiness.
• Improves spread and absorption for easier application of actives.
• Enhances product stability and shelf appearance by resisting oxidation.

Can I use this ingredient in haircare and what benefits will it offer?

Yes — as a lightweight conditioner and carrier, it smooths and softens hair fibers without weighing hair down. It helps distribute silicones and actives more evenly and leaves hair looking conditioned with minimal shine, suitable for fine to normal hair types.

• Conditions and detangles without buildup.
• Acts as a carrier for essential oils and performance ingredients.
• Compatible with serums, leave-in treatments, and hair oils.

What are recommended usage levels and typical applications?

Usage depends on the formula: small percentages add slip and sensory benefits, while higher percentages create light facial or massage oils. It integrates easily with emulsifiers and other esters, making it versatile for lotions, sunscreens, makeup removers, and concentrated facial oils.

• 3–15% in creams and lotions for improved texture.
• 10–30% in facial oils and serums for lightweight conditioning.
• Up to 50% in massage or cleansing oils for effortless glide.

How is this different from regular MCT oil and is it safe for sensitive skin?

Unlike food-grade MCT oil, Dermaskin Labs Caprylic Capric Triglycerides is a cosmetic-grade, ultra-refined ester composed mainly of C8 and C10 chains, offering a cleaner, more stable, and less greasy profile. It is odorless, colorless, non-comedogenic, and generally well-tolerated, making it a popular choice for sensitive and oily skin formulations.

• Purified for cosmetic use — minimal impurities and neutral scent.
• Non-greasy and fast-absorbing, suitable for many skin types.
• Vegan, cruelty-free, and biodegradable for ethical formulations.

Who is this for: Formulators, small-batch skincare brands, estheticians, and DIY beauty creators seeking a reliable, premium emollient to improve the feel, stability, and performance of creams, lotions, serums, hair treatments, and body oils. If you want a neutral, fast-absorbing carrier that enhances spreadability and plays well with essential oils and active ingredients, this cosmetic-grade Caprylic Capric Triglycerides is designed to fit seamlessly into professional and home formulations.
