Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Light triglyceride
1. INCI & CAS
INCI: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride · CAS: 73398-61-5
2. Role in the formula
The guide uses caprylic/capric triglyceride as a light oil for lotion, balm, and cleansing-oil formats.
3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)
- For lotions, the reference gives 3–8% in this reference.
- Cleansing oils and balms may use the guide range 20–60%.
Add Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride to the oil phase.
4. Regulatory sources & global compliance
- A CosIng listing for Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride provides ingredient information, not approval of a supplied grade or finished product.
- For cosmetics placed on the EU market, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the complete cosmetic containing Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride to receive its own safety assessment for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
- Review the supplier TDS for the received Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride grade, together with the target market's current filing requirements.
5. Safety & risk assessment
The guide records a level for cosmetic formulation purposes; the note establishes neither drug approval nor OTC-monograph status with patch assessment and finished-formula stability testing still required.
6. Stability & packaging
Keep bulk supplies closed, cool, and protected from sunlight; consider an airless or pump format when oxidation sensitivity warrants it; check the finished formula and its packaging together.
7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)
- This guide frames Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride's cosmetic direction around light-triglyceride.
- The cosmetic listing does not demonstrate claims of drug activity, a clinical cure, or an undocumented product certification.
- The ingredient record for Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride provides no basis for whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant effects, sunscreen use, or hair growth.
