About this material
Fractionated Coconut Oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Coconut Derived)) is an Ester emollient supplied by MakeYourSkin as a clear liquid for professional cosmetic formulation. Rooted in the Indian Ayurvedic tradition and sourced from India, it is valued for light emolliency, active carrier.
What is Fractionated Coconut Oil?
Fractionated Coconut Oil is supplied under the INCI / technical name Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Coconut Derived) and carries CAS number 65381-09-1.
It belongs to the Ester emollient group and is derived from fractionated coconut oil. The material reaches you as a clear liquid. It is an established cosmetic raw material with mature supply and well-understood formulation behaviour.
Key Properties & Benefits
- Light emolliency
- Active carrier
- Carries an authentic Ayurvedic provenance story that resonates strongly with Indian and export consumers.
Uses & Applications
Fractionated Coconut Oil is used in creams, lotions, facial oils, balms, sun care, makeup and hair serums.
Typical applications from the catalogue record: Serums, massage oils, makeup removers.
As a formulation essential it is specified by function rather than by claim, and the level is set by the performance the formula needs rather than by a marketing target. In traditional Indian formats it appears in taila, ubtan, lepa and hair-oil preparations, and translates well into modern serum, mask and cleanser formats.
Handling note: Supplied ready to dose; check the active content on the technical data sheet, because liquid grades are usually dilutions.
How to Use — Recommended Use Level
| Typical use level | 2–20% |
|---|---|
| Recommended pH | any |
| Addition phase | Oil phase |
| Solubility | Oil-soluble. Add to the oil phase; will not disperse in water without a solubiliser or emulsifier. |
General rule: always begin at the lower end of the range, confirm the level against the supplier technical data sheet, and validate stability, pH, colour, odour and preservative efficacy on the finished formulation before scaling up.

Regulatory Note
Sold as a cosmetic raw material for professional formulation. A published INCI name does not by itself authorise use: the buyer is responsible for confirming permitted status, maximum concentration, restrictions by product type, labelling and claim rules in every market the finished product is sold in. In India, cosmetics fall under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940 and the Cosmetics Rules 2020 administered by CDSCO, with BIS standards (including IS 4707 Part 2) listing restricted substances. The EU applies Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and its Annexes; the United States applies the FD&C Act as amended by MoCRA; Korea, Japan and China operate their own positive lists and functional-cosmetic frameworks. Every finished product needs its own safety assessment.

How to work with it
The specification's Add at row is the one to read first. Water-phase materials added to a hot oil phase are the most common reason a batch separates.
Measure the finished product, not the premix. Outside the range the activity drops away and, for some materials, the degradation route is what causes complaints.
Then work up through stability and compatibility testing. Higher is not better, and the destination market's limit may sit below your formulation ceiling.
