C10-18 triglycerides

C10-18 Triglycerides (CAS 85665-33-4) are semi-synthetic lipid esters derived from medium- to long-chain fatty acids esterified with glycerol. Also marketed as Suppocire OSIX and C10-18 Glycerides.

Where is C10-18 triglycerides used?

• Cosmetics and personal care: skin-conditioning emollients and co-emulsifiers in creams and lotions
• Lipstick bases: smooth, non-greasy skin feel that supports formulation stability
• Food and nutraceutical: carriers and encapsulation matrices for fat-soluble actives, including vitamins and flavors
• Industrial lubricants: bio-based base fluids or additive carriers where biodegradability and low toxicity profile influence procurement
• Adhesives and coatings: plasticizers and processing aids that improve substrate wetting and film flexibility
• They function as emollients, emulsifiers, and lubricants across personal care, food, and industrial formulations.

Good to know: Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commonly sourced; pharmaceutical-grade material is available under established suppository base standards.

Commercial specifications

• White to off-white waxy solid or semi-solid; physical state depends on the fatty acid chain distribution.
• Bulk supply is typically offered in cartons or drums, with pallet quantities standard for industrial buyers.
