Triheptanoin is a triglyceride, a type of ester derived from glycerol and heptanoic acid. It functions primarily as a skin conditioning agent and emollient in cosmetic formulations. It helps to soften and smooth the skin's surface, providing a pleasant feel without a heavy or greasy residue. This ingredient is often used to improve the spreadability and texture of products.
