C10-18 Triglycerides are a triester of glycerin and a mixture of normal and branched chain C10-18 fatty acids. These are available as white, waxy, and odorless pellets. These are mainly fatty thickeners, used to boost viscosity, stability, and richness in formulations. They condition the skin by acting as an emollient and also serve as a solvent for cosmetics.

What is C10-18 TRIGLYCERIDES used for?
C10-18 triglycerides are used as thickeners to boost the viscosity, and richness in cosmetic formulations.
- Skin care: These act as emollients to condition the skin. They have melting points close to the skin temperature and a perfect affinity with the skin hydro-lipidic film due to the presence of triglycerides. These improve the spreadability and comfort of body emulsion formulas while providing excellent heat stability. They are used in various formulations like creamy textured formulas, a sprayable product with less viscosity, etc. However, they tend to slow the absorbency speed of formulations. They can make a product solid
Origin
These are manufactured by the esterification of glycerol with food-grade fatty acids derived from edible coconut oil, edible palm kernel oil, or both oils.

VISCOSITY CONTROLLINGSafety Profile
These are not potentially harmful or toxic components. These are not suspected to be bio-accumulative. They have a very low hazard rating from EWG (1) with no significant concerns for irritation, sensitization, comedogenicity, or toxicity. They are non-irritating, well-tolerated across skin types (including sensitive and baby skin). They pose low risk at typical concentrations (5-50%; often used up to 100% in oils).
