Description

MCT stands for Medium Chain Triglycerides and is also commonly known by its INCI name Capric Caprylic Triglyceride (CCT). It can be derived from Palm or Coconut oil (when it is usually referred to as Fractionated Coconut Oil). It is widely used in cosmetics as a dispersing agent but also functions as a solvent for fat-soluble vitamins and other active nutrients. It is an excellent emollient and rapidly penetrates the skin. Once it has penetrated it slows the loss of water from the skin by forming a barrier on the skin’s surface.

It is also used to alter the thickness of liquid products, improving the spread and providing a silky and even application that promotes dispersion of other ingredients in finished products. This provides and maintains a beautifully smooth and lustrous after-touch when applied to the skin. Cosmetic manufacturers highly value this ingredient as well for it possesses great stability and resistance to oxidation, hence its long natural shelf life.

Very nice oil!

I didn’t realise that this oil is made from palm kernels, but the oil itself is very nice and i have used this in a variety of skin products.
