Ingredient Info

Coco-Caprylate is a lightweight, fast-absorbing oil derived from coconut that acts as an emollient and texture enhancer in skincare products. It helps soften and condition the skin while improving the spreadability and feel of formulations.



Benefits

  • Lightweight moisturizing without a greasy residue
  • Improves product texture and skin feel
  • Helps dissolve and stabilize UV filters in sunscreens

Science: Research shows Coco-Caprylate performs comparably to other standard cosmetic emollients in sunscreen formulations. While it has moderate polarity, it was slightly less optimal than Dibutyl Adipate for maximizing UVA protection in sunscreens, though it does not negatively impact SPF performance.
