THE STORY OF NANOSURF CCTG
Nanosurf CCTG: The Lightweight, Silky Emollient from Coconut Oil
Nanosurf CCTG is a highly stable, fast-absorbing emollient derived from fractionated coconut oil and glycerin. Known for its dry, non-greasy skin feel, it is widely used in serums, lotions, sunscreens, hair oils, balms, and makeup formulations as a replacement for mineral oils and silicones.
Derived from Coconut Fatty Acids, Purified into Ultra-Stable Ester
Nanosurf CCTG is produced by reacting glycerin with caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) fatty acids sourced from coconut oil. The result is a high-purity, odorless, oxidation-resistant ester oil that offers excellent sensory performance and long shelf stability. TRCkem supplies cosmetic, pharma, and food-grade CCTG.
