Triheptanoin is a skin-softening emollient made from a triester blend of glycerine and an oily liquid called heptanoic acid. With its distinctive sensorial properties and light, non-greasy texture, it is often preferred to siloxane-type silicones.

In addition to its ability to smooth and soften the skin while preventing moisture loss, Triheptanoin plays a crucial role as a dispersing agent for UV filters. It ensures that these filters are evenly distributed in sunscreen formulas and, consequently, on the skin. Triheptanoin is also beneficial for pigment dispersion, making it an essential ingredient in the world of make-up.
