Cosmetic Grade Coco Caprylate/Caprate CAS 95912-86-0
Products Description
- Coco Caprylate/Caprate is a naturally derived ester compound, mainly formed by the reaction of fatty acids (mainly caprylic acid and capric acid) in coconut oil with glycerin or other alcohols. It is widely used in cosmetics and personal care products as an emulsifier, skin conditioner and solvent.
- Coco Caprylate/Caprate has good solubility in oil substances. For example, it can dissolve easily in vegetable oils (such as olive oil, almond oil) and mineral oils. Meanwhile, it also has a certain solubility in organic solvents (such as ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, etc.). However, its solubility in water is low, which makes it more suitable for formulation systems mainly based on the oil phase.
- Coco Caprylate/Caprate is a versatile emulsifier and skin conditioning agent with good emulsification, thickening and skin affinity. Its wide application in personal care and cosmetics makes it one of the most important ingredients in modern skin care and cleansing formulations. Due to its natural origin, Coco Caprylate/Caprate is also favored by many consumers, especially in products seeking natural and mild formulations.

Application
- Cosmetics Industry
- In skin care products, such as emulsions, creams, serums, etc., Coco Caprylate/Caprate is widely used as an emollient ingredient. It can work synergistically with other moisturizing ingredients (such as hyaluronic acid, glycerol, etc.) to improve the moisturizing effect of the product. In some lightweight emulsions, Coco Caprylate/Caprate can make the product texture more refreshing, easier to apply, and enhance the skin's moisturizing feeling.
- In cosmetic products, such as lipsticks, eye shadows, foundations, etc., Coco Caprylate/Caprate can be used as a solvent and dispersant. As a solvent, it can help dissolve oil-soluble ingredients in cosmetics, such as pigments and fragrances; as a dispersant, it can ensure the even distribution of pigments, making the cosmetic colors more vivid and uniform and improving the product's stability.
- Personal Care Products Industry
- In products like body washes and shampoos, Coco Caprylate/Caprate can be added as a moisturizing ingredient. It can provide a certain amount of moisture for the skin and hair while cleaning, preventing the skin from drying out and the hair from becoming frizzy due to excessive cleaning. In some high-end body washes, when combined with other natural oil ingredients, it can create a moisturizing yet non-greasy bathing experience.
- Pharmaceutical Industry (External Preparations)
- In some external drug preparations such as ointments and creams, Coco Caprylate/Caprate can be used as a matrix ingredient. It helps the drug to disperse evenly and can provide a certain emollient effect, relieve the irritation of the drug on the skin, and also facilitate the attachment and absorption of the drug on the skin surface.
