Overview of MCT Oil

MCT Oil (Medium Chain Triglyceride Oil) is a lightweight, odourless, and colourless emollient derived mainly from coconut oil or palm kernel oil, consisting of medium-chain fatty acids such as caprylic and capric triglycerides. It is widely used in personal care, cosmetic, and home care formulations for its excellent spreadability, fast absorption, and non-greasy skin feel.

In personal care products, MCT Oil is highly valued for delivering smooth texture, improved glide, and enhanced skin conditioning without heaviness. It is commonly used in skin care creams, lotions, facial serums, hair oils, conditioners, massage oils, lip care products, and makeup formulations. Due to its stability and neutral sensory profile, it works well with ingredients like Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ethylhexyl Oleate, Squalane, Silicone Oil, and Shea Butter to create elegant and lightweight formulations.

In home care and wellness-oriented applications, MCT Oil is used in aromatic blends, speciality surface treatments, and carrier systems, where stability and low odour are essential.

ChemicalBull supplies quality-grade MCT Oil suitable for cosmetic, personal care, and speciality applications, ensuring consistent purity, oxidative stability, and dependable bulk supply.
