Description
Enhance the stability, safety, and luxurious feel of your cosmetic formulations with high-purity Caprylyl Glycol. Derived from vegetable-based fatty acids, Caprylyl Glycol is a versatile, 1,2-Octanediol active ingredient that functions as a powerful humectant, emollient, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial booster across skin and hair care products.
As a multi-functional ingredient, Caprylyl Glycol works synergistically with traditional preservatives (such as phenoxyethanol or organic acids) to significantly boost their antimicrobial efficacy. Its unique 8-carbon lipophilic chain disrupts microbial cell membranes, inhibiting the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold while reducing the need for high concentrations of harsh preservatives. Excellent for sensitive skin and baby care formulations, it delivers a smooth, non-tacky finish while attracting moisture to the skin barrier.
