Miglyol® 612

Miglyol® 612 is a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) composed primarily of caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) fatty acids, derived from plant-based sources like coconut and palm kernel oils. It is a clear, virtually colorless, low-viscosity liquid with a neutral odor and taste. Miglyol® 612 is known for its excellent oxidative stability and is commonly used as an emollient, solvent, and carrier in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. Its properties make it suitable for applications requiring quick absorption and a non-greasy feel.
