Glyceryl Caprylate

A natural preservative with excellent antimicrobial properties against bacteria and yeast. It also hydrates and helps care for problematic skin.

This material allows home cosmetics manufacturers to use a modern alternative to traditional preservatives and stabilizers. Glyceryl Caprylate helps protect products against the growth of bacteria and yeast, so you can produce cleaner formulas with higher stability and less "aggressive" chemistry. It also serves as a co-emulsifier - it facilitates the connection of the oil and water phases of emulsions, thereby creating soft, uniform creams, milks, body emulsions. Another advantage is better spreadability, a pleasant feeling on the skin and the possibility of using it in the care of problematic skin.
