Captex® 1000

Captex® 1000 is a triglyceride formed from selected high-purity vegetable fatty acids and glycerin and carries Kosher certification. Captex® 1000 is an excellent emollient and imparts a pleasant, soft, luxurious, silky, water-resistant film as well as cooling effect to the skin. It provides a sheen and enhanced creamy texture to creams and lotions. Captex® 1000 is recommended for use in skin care creams, lotions and color cosmetics. Due to its sharp melting point and improved lubricity, Captex® 1000 offers advantages in lipstick and lip-treatment products where it imparts a long-lasting, non-greasy feel. The unique alimentation pathway typified by medium-chain triglycerides allows Captex® 1000 to function as an ingredient in cheese analogs, beverages, creamers, and nutritional supplements. Captex® 1000 can be blended with powdered carriers at high levels resulting in a non-greasy, non-oily, free-flowing product. It is manufactured in USA.

Product Highlights

Processing Aids

  • Direct-compression, free-fraction tablet lubricants which reduce ejection force but allow for faster disintegration times than surface spreading lubricants
  • Soft gel lubricants which allow for less washing and ease of capsule printing
  • Binder excipients for hot melt granulation and extrusion

Lipid Nanoparticle Delivery Systems

  • Functional lipids for the development of solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipids

Permeation Enhancement

  • Functional lipids which can increase the permeation of BCS Class III and BCS Class IV actives
  • Increase permeation of polar molecules with functional groups which are ionized at biological pH
  • Increase permeation of actives affected by PGP mediated efflux

Encapsulation

  • Formulation of functional multi-particulates
  • Use in both matrix and encapsulated multi-particulates
  • Employ in both congealing and molten fluid bed unit operations
