Coco caprylate/caprate is a blend of esters derived from caprylic and capric acids combined with coconut based fatty alcohols. It is an excellent, fast-spreading emollient with low viscosity, known for its ability to soften and hydrate both skin and hair, leaving them feeling smooth and comfortable. It absorbs quickly, imparting a silky, non-greasy finish. This ingredient also enhances the texture and sensory feel of cosmetic formulations.
Functioning like an oil without the heaviness or greasiness, coco caprylate/caprate serves as an effective alternative to volatile silicones in various products. It is suitable for all skin types including dry, oily, and sensitive and is commonly incorporated into moisturizers, creams, hair care products, body oils, makeup, and serums.
