Coco-Caprylate/Caprate

Coco-Caprylate/Caprate

Coco-caprylate/caprate is a fatty acid ester that is easily absorbed by the skin. It leaves the skin feeling silky soft and dry. A vegetable oil, such as coconut oil, can be used as the starting material, and this fatty acid ester is then produced through several processing steps. Used in deodorants due to its lightweight, emollient properties. It helps create a smooth, silky feel on the skin, enhances spreadability, and contributes to a non-greasy finish. It's often used as a natural alternative to some synthetic emollients like mineral oils or silicones.
