Caprylic Triglycerides (CCTG)

Caprylic Triglycerides (CCTG)

Recommended Concentration:

General Usage: CCTG is typically used at concentrations of 1% to 10% in formulations. The exact concentration will depend on the type of product you're creating and its intended feel.

It can also be used up to 20% in some formulations where you want to enhance moisturization without making the product greasy.

Solubility:

Caprylic triglycerides are oil-soluble and should be added to the oil phase of your formulation.

It blends easily with oils, emulsifiers, and other lipid-based ingredients. It can also be used as a carrier for essential oils or active ingredients, enhancing their spreadability.

Temperature Sensitivity:

CCTG is stable at typical formulation temperatures and can be used in both cold-process formulations and those requiring heat.

When working with emulsions, CCTG can be added to the oil phase along with other oils or emulsifying waxes. It is often used in the cool-down phase of non-emulsion products like oils or serums.

Compatibility:

With Oils: CCTG is highly compatible with other vegetable oils (e.g., sunflower oil, jojoba oil) and butters (e.g., shea butter, cocoa butter), making it a good carrier and base for richer formulations.

With Active Ingredients: It can carry active ingredients like vitamins, antioxidants, and essential oils, helping them to penetrate the skin.

With Emulsifiers: CCTG is compatible with many emulsifiers and is often used to improve the feel of emulsions and enhance their stability.

Applications:

Skincare Products: CCTG is commonly used in creams, lotions, serums, and cleansers to enhance moisturization without feeling greasy or heavy.

Haircare Products: It is used in conditioners, hair masks, and serums to help smooth the hair and add shine.

Body Care Products: It is often found in body butters, massage oils, and after-sun products to provide rich hydration.

Cosmetics: CCTG is used in makeup removers, foundations, and lip products due to its non-greasy, silky feel and ability to dissolve oil-soluble ingredients.
