Coco-caprylate (coco-silicone) is a natural alternative to silicones that will give your cosmetics a silky glide and a luxurious feel without weighing them down. It is obtained from coconut oil and creates a light, velvety film on the skin and hair, making them instantly smoother, softer and more pleasant to the touch. It helps reduce the feeling of greasiness in oil formulas and improves the spreadability of creams and serums. In hair care, it adds shine, smoothes the surface of the hair and leaves it soft without a heavy silicone effect. The ideal choice for anyone who wants a natural formula and at the same time a professional, “wow” result

Coco-caprylate is a emollient ester similar to silicones that gives skin and hair silky smoothness, pleasant glide and shine, but comes from natural sources. It is great for use in creams, oils and conditioners where you want to achieve a soft, non-greasy and luxurious feel.
Coco-Caprylate, also known as “coco silicone,” is a lightweight plant-based emollient used as an alternative to synthetic silicones. In cosmetics, it provides a smooth glide, fast absorption, and a non-greasy feel on skin and hair.
In home production, it is used in skin creams, body lotions, oil serums, makeup bases and hair products. It helps improve the spreadability of the product and reduces the feeling of heaviness after application. In hair cosmetics, it contributes to a smoother appearance of hair.
