Description

Miglyol 812 is a highly refined, neutral oil composed of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), primarily caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) acid triglycerides. This product is valued for its exceptional purity, excellent oxidative stability, and low viscosity, making it a versatile and reliable excipient. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries seeking a safe, non-greasy, and readily metabolized lipid vehicle.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a solvent, carrier, or diluent in soft gelatin capsules, oral and topical formulations, and parenteral nutrition emulsions.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Serves as an emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and carrier oil in sunscreens, creams, lotions, and makeup products due to its light texture and non-comedogenic properties.
• Food & Nutritional Supplements: Employed as a carrier for fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), flavors, colors, and in specialized dietary products for rapid energy release.
• Industrial Applications: Functions as a lubricant, release agent, or plasticizer in technical applications requiring a high-purity, non-toxic oil.
