Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Cctg)

Description :

Caprylic/capric triglyceride is a super smooth ingredient that locks in moisture on the skin and hair without leaving them greasy or oily. CCTG can be substituted for some of the more fragile vegetable oils that tend to become rancid and for some of the more expensive carrier oils to keep costs under control.

 it undergoes many chemical procedures.
