In the field of personal care, Caprylic or Capric triglyceride is a good skin conditioner.Its most central role is to reduce the irritation of the formula to the skin. The reason why many skin care products can be gentle and non-allergic is due to it.Due to its small molecular size and strong permeability, it can quickly penetrate deep into the stratum corneum of the skin, replenish the oil needed by the skin, repair the skin barrier, and improve dryness, roughness and other problems.
At present, it has been widely used in skin care creams, lotions, sunscreen lotions, hair care creams, shower oils, hair care oils, baby creams and various makeup products.In moisturizing lotion, it can work synergistically with Oil in water emulsion to make the lotion texture more refreshing and the moisturizing effect more lasting.In baby skin care products, its gentle and non-irritating properties can take care of the baby's delicate skin and avoid redness, itching, allergies and other problems.In makeup products, it can improve the ductility of the product, make the makeup more obedient, and at the same time reduce the pulling and irritation of makeup on the skin.
III.Food field: A new choice for fat-reducing meal replacement
In addition to the field of personal care, Capric or Capric triglyceride also has excellent performance in the field of food, especially as an important ingredient in fat-reducing meal replacement products.This is due to its unique absorption mechanism-due to its simple molecular structure, there is no need to go through a complex digestion process after eating, and it can be absorbed directly by the body through the portal vein, which can quickly provide energy to the body. At the same time, it can speed up the body's satiety and reduce subsequent food intake, so as to achieve the purpose of weight control.
In all kinds of meal replacement milkshakes, fat-reducing biscuits, energy bars and other products, it can not only replace some high-calorie traditional oils and fats, reduce the overall calories of the product, but also improve the taste and satiety of the product, so that the fat-reducing process will no longer starve.Compared with ordinary fat, it has a faster metabolism rate, is not easy to accumulate in the body, and is more friendly to good health.Whether it is office workers who need to control their weight or fitness people who pursue a healthy lifestyle, foods containing this ingredient have become their ideal choice.
Compared with ordinary grease, what are its advantages?
In the
Synthetic Grease market, the key to why Caprylic or Capric triglyceride stands out is that it has irreplaceable advantages over ordinary oils (including natural oils and some traditional synthetic oils).
First of all, in terms of absorption efficiency, the molecular structure of ordinary oils and fats is complex, and it needs to go through multiple digestion and decomposition of the gastrointestinal tract to be absorbed by the human body. The absorption rate is slow, and it is easy to be converted into fat in the body to accumulate, and the small molecular structure of Capric or Capric triglyceride allows it to be directly absorbed, with higher absorption efficiency, can quickly supply energy to the body, and is not easy to hoard fat, this advantage is particularly prominent in the food field.
Secondly, in terms of moderation, ordinary oils and fats may contain impurities, allergens and other ingredients, which can easily cause irritation to the skin or gastrointestinal tract. Some natural oils and fats may also cause acne, acne and other problems, while Capric Capric triglyceride has undergone a precise synthesis process, high purity, almost no impurities, and extremely low irritation.

You can use it with confidence.
Moreover, in terms of stability and compatibility, ordinary oils and fats are easy to oxidize and deteriorate, which affects the shelf life of the product, and problems such as stratification and agglomeration may occur when paired with some ingredients, while Capric or Capric triglyceride has high antioxidant stability and can extend the shelf life of the product. At the same time, it is well compatible with a variety of ingredients, whether it is various active ingredients in skin care products or additives in food, they can coexist in harmony with them, providing more possibilities for product formulation.
In addition, in terms of use experience, the texture of ordinary oils is often heavier, and it will feel sticky when applied to the skin. After eating, it may also give people a feeling of greasy and bloating.And its texture is refreshing, the skin absorbs quickly, there is no sticky residue, and there will be no greasy feeling after consumption, which can significantly enhance the product experience.
Where are the core advantages of Caprylic or Capric triglyceride?
