Fractionated coconut oil INCI name
The INCI name for fractionated coconut oil is Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. A lotion, balm or bath product lists it by that name. In cold-process soap it is a triglyceride, so the lye saponifies it like the other oils, and the glossary gives it no salt name, so the tools list it as added and flag it for you to check.
| In lotions, balms and other cosmetics | Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride |

| In cold-process soap | It is a triglyceride, so the lye saponifies it like the other oils, and the glossary gives it no salt name. The tools list it as added, "Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride", following Article 19(1)(g) of the Cosmetics Regulation ("at the time they are added"), and flag it for you to check. To name what the bar holds instead, add inci: with that name to the line. |
