Miglyol® 128

Miglyol® 128 is a non-polar, fast-spreading emollient derived from coconut-based esters (cocoyl caprylocaprate). It offers a light, non-greasy skin feel and functions as a refatting agent, making it suitable for restoring skin lipids in various formulations. With a low viscosity (~11 mPa·s at 20 °C), it is ideal for low-viscosity systems and is listed in the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) Miglyol® 128 is commonly used in personal care and pharmaceutical products, including creams, lotions, and topical medications, where a light, non-oily texture is desired.
