Coconut-derived, fractionated, and nothing like coconut oil in behaviour. It is one of the most-used emollients in cosmetics because it is light, spreads beautifully and stays fresh for years. If a Korean cleansing oil or ampoule feels silky rather than greasy, this ester is often the quiet reason.

What spring does to your skin

Fluctuating temperatures, pollen and sensitivity, and rising UV mean a gentle, barrier-supportive routine with reliable daily SPF.

How that changes Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Spring is when UV climbs while skin is still adjusting out of winter — keep the barrier steady and let sunscreen do the heavy lifting. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride works on dryness & dehydration, damaged moisture barrier, and it is normally applied BOTH.
