TCM Like

TCM Like is a vegetable-derived emollient designed as an alternative to mineral oil and a substitute for TCM, also known as capric/caprylic acid triglycerides. It provides lubrication, emollience, and conditioning to formulations. The liquid oil works well in creams, moisturizers, and body oils. Formulators can use 1–5% in creams and moisturizers. Body oils can use 1–40%, depending on the formulation.
