Information
Caprylyl Caprylate/Caprate is an emollient ester derived from caprylic and capric fatty acids, which are medium-chain triglycerides. These fatty acids are typically sourced from coconut oil. This ingredient is widely used in skincare for its ability to contribute to the texture and absorption of products, making them feel smoother and more luxurious on the skin.
Where does it come from?
Caprylyl Caprylate/Caprate is sourced from natural fatty acids found in coconut oil. The oil undergoes a process called esterification, where they are chemically reacted with alcohol to produce the final emollient ester. This process results in a lightweight, non-greasy ingredient that is highly effective in various skincare formulations.
Moisturizing: Provides a light, non-greasy layer of moisture that can visibly soften and hydrate the skin.
Texture: Contributes to the spreadability and overall feel of skincare products, making them easier to apply.
Absorption: Facilitates the absorption of other active ingredients in the formula, contributing to their efficacy.
Non-Comedogenic: Does not clog pores, making it suitable for use in products for all skin types, including oily and irritated skin.
Stabilizes Formulations: Stabilizes emulsions, minimizing separation and extending the shelf life of products.
How is it used in our products?
Caprylyl Caprylate/Caprate is used in F74 Regeneration Intense Face Cream from OLIVEDA. It is included for its emollient, hydrating, and conditioning properties that can smooth and hydrate the skin's appearance while creating a light, silky texture that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. It ensures that active ingredients penetrate more efficiently and that oil-based ingredients are properly dispersed.
