Gliceril Caprilate

Origin

Vegetable

Procurement

It is obtained from glycerin and caprylic acid, a medium-chain fatty acid found in coconut oil.

Benefits

It acts as an emulsifier and is able to form a film on the skin that traps moisture and prevents it from escaping, and has the ability to stabilise oil-in-water emulsions such as creams and lotions. It has antimicrobial properties against bacteria and yeast. This allows it to boost organic acids and preservatives.
