Product Description

Caprylic Capric Triglyceride (GTCC) CAS 65381-09-1 is a mixed triester prepared from caprylic acid, capric acid and glycerin, with the representative formula C₂₁H₄₀O₆ and EINECS 265-724-3.

Synonyms: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride; GTCC; Decanoyl/octanoyl-glycerides; Medium Chain Triglycerides; MCT Oil; Capric Acid Triglyceride.

CAS: 65381-09-1.

Molecular formula: C₂₁H₄₀O₆.

It is a nearly colorless to light-yellow, low-viscosity oily liquid with high oxidative stability and a light, non-greasy skin feel.

Its low viscosity and high spreading ability let it dissolve lipophilic actives, sun filters, vitamins and pigments.

It improves the texture of creams, lotions, sunscreens and color cosmetics while leaving a smooth, non-greasy finish.

GTCC is a refined medium-chain triglyceride with a narrow C8/C10 fatty acid profile.

It gives lower viscosity, lighter color, better oxidative stability and faster spreadability than many long-chain vegetable oils.

It is used in facial care, body lotions, sunscreen oils, makeup removers, lip products, hair oils and topical delivery systems.

It can function as a primary oil phase, a solvent or carrier, or a refatting agent depending on the target sensory profile.

The typical acid value is not more than 0.1 mg KOH/g, with a saponification value of about 325-345 mg KOH/g.

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Protect from heat and light, and keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Confirm appearance, acid value, saponification value, iodine value, hydroxyl value, moisture and grade as required.

Use suitable eye and skin protection during handling, and wash skin contact with soap and water.

Confirm packaging with the requested quantity and destination requirements.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

  • Q:

    What is Caprylic Capric Triglyceride CAS 65381-09-1?

    A: Caprylic Capric Triglyceride, also called GTCC or medium-chain triglyceride oil, is a mixed triester prepared from caprylic acid, capric acid, and glycerin. It is a nearly colorless to light-yellow, low-viscosity oily liquid with high oxidative stability and a light, non-greasy skin feel.
  • Q:

    Why is GTCC used as an emollient and carrier in cosmetics?

    A: Its low viscosity and high spreading ability let it dissolve lipophilic actives, sun filters, vitamins, and pigments while improving the texture of creams, lotions, sunscreens, and color cosmetics. It leaves a smooth finish without the heavy oiliness of many conventional vegetable oils.
  • Q:

    What is the difference between Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and ordinary vegetable oil?

    A: GTCC is a refined medium-chain triglyceride with a narrow C8/C10 fatty acid profile, giving lower viscosity, lighter color, better oxidative stability, and faster spreadability than many long-chain vegetable oils. This makes it especially suitable for clear oils, sprayable formulations, and oxidation-sensitive products.
  • Q:

    Which formulation types benefit most from Caprylic Capric Triglyceride?

    A: It is widely used in facial care, body lotions, sunscreen oils, makeup removers, lip products, hair oils, and topical delivery systems. It can function as a primary oil phase, a solvent/carrier, or a refatting agent depending on the target sensory profile.
