MCT oil (neutral oil)
- Intense moisture for deep skin care.
- Anti-inflammatory - Soothes irritated skin.
- Protects, regenerates and nourishes the skin barrier.
MCT oil is a neutral and extremely low-irritant oil. It is primarily used due to its viscosity-inhibiting properties, which improve the absorption and application behavior of emulsions. As a lipid component to reduce the concentration of active ingredients. This particularly benefits over-cared skin (e.g. perioral dermatitis). Here MCT oil can bring the skin back into balance, as this oil lacks active fatty substances such as phospholipids, phytosterols and tocopherols.
In addition to classic skin care products, MCT oil is also used in sun protection, lip care and foundations.
We recommend using MCT oil where you want an extremely low-irritant formulation that should be particularly soft and smooth to the touch and to apply.
Background knowledge about our MCT oil
The MCT stands for medium chain triglycerides or in German medium-chain fatty acids. MCT oil is also often used as a dietary supplement because the medium-chain fatty acids cannot be stored in the form of fat reserves.

MCT oil, an extremely low-irritant and neutral oil, is often used in skin care products due to its anti-viscosity properties. It improves the absorption and application behavior of emulsions and is used as a lipid component to reduce the concentration of active ingredients.
This is particularly beneficial for over-cared for skin conditions such as perioral dermatitis. MCT oil can help restore skin balance because it does not contain active fatty substances such as phospholipids, phytosterols and tocopherols.
MCT oil is used in various skin care products such as sunscreens, lip care products and foundations. It is particularly suitable for developing extremely low-irritation formulations that are pleasant to apply due to their softness and smoothness.
MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, also known as medium-chain fatty acids. In addition to its use in skin care, MCT oil is also valued as a dietary supplement. The special thing about medium-chain fatty acids is that they cannot be stored in the body in the form of fat reserves.
