MCT Oil - Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Description: MCT Oil is a refined cosmetic oil (INCI: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride) derived from coconut oil, also known as fractionated coconut oil. It is clear, colourless, odourless and very light, and it stays liquid at room temperature. Made up of medium-chain triglycerides of caprylic and capric acids, it is very stable and resists going rancid, which is why it is one of the most widely used carrier oils in serums, perfume oils, makeup and creams. Available in 100ml, 200ml and 500ml, with 1L and larger on our MCT Oil Wholesale page.

Why It’s Special:

• Light, Dry Feel: Spreads easily and leaves a silky, non-greasy finish.
• Very Stable: Resists going rancid, which helps the shelf life of your products.
• Neutral Carrier and Solvent: No colour or scent, so it will not change the look or smell of a formula, and it helps dissolve oil-soluble actives, fragrances and pigments evenly.

How to Enjoy MCT Oil: For a face oil, use it as a light base and add 10 to 30% of a richer oil such as Rosehip Oil. For a perfume oil, dilute your essential oil or fragrance blend in MCT oil and fill a roll-on bottle. Why use MCT oil for perfume oils? It is clear, odourless and stable, so it carries a scent without changing it. It is also an easy carrier for diluting essential oils such as Lavender Essential Oil before applying to skin. Will it clog pores? It is light and widely used in facial products, but every skin is different. Suitable for most skin types; patch test first.

• Silky Face Oils: Blend with Jojoba Oil for a light, fast-absorbing face oil.
• Roll-On Perfumes: Use as the base, up to 100%, for perfume and roll-on oils.
