Coco-Caprylate/Caprate

Description
Coco-Caprylate/Caprate is a natural, plant-derived ester obtained from coconut fatty acids and caprylic/capric acid. It is a lightweight, non-greasy emollient widely used in skincare, haircare, and cosmetic formulations to provide a silky, smooth skin feel and improve spreadability.

This ingredient serves as an excellent silicone alternative in formulations, delivering a soft, dry-touch finish without leaving an oily residue. Coco-Caprylate/Caprate enhances the sensory experience of creams, lotions, serums, and hair products while improving the solubilization of active ingredients and stabilizing formulations.
