Capric Triglyceride

What is Capric Triglyceride?

Capric triglyceride is a compound derived from coconut oil and glycerin, commonly used in skincare as an emollient. This lightweight, non-greasy oil helps to moisturize the skin, improve texture, and enhance the absorption of other active ingredients, making it a popular choice in various formulations.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Intolerance to capric triglyceride may occur in individuals sensitive to coconut or its derivatives. Symptoms can include irritation, breakouts, or allergic reactions, particularly in those with existing sensitivities to coconut-based products.

What can I do about it?

If you suspect an intolerance to capric triglyceride, it’s advisable to avoid products containing it. Look for alternative emollients like shea butter or sunflower oil, which can provide similar moisturizing benefits without the risk of irritation. Always read product labels carefully to ensure they align with your skin’s needs.
