Capric/Caprylic Triglyceride (also known as MCT/CCT/Fractionated Coconut Oil) is a lightweight, non-greasy emollient derived from coconut or palm kernel oil. Used extensively in animal care and personal care formulations, it functions as a skin-conditioning agent, moisturizer, and carrier oil. In pet grooming products, it helps nourish skin, improve coat shine, and support barrier function. In specialized pet foods and supplements, it serves as a readily digestible energy source, particularly suited for animals with sensitive digestion or high metabolic needs.
