Coco-Caprylate/Caprate
Coco-caprylate/caprate
Coco-Caprylate/Caprate is an ester of coconut-derived fatty alcohols and caprylic and capric acids. It is light, spreads quickly and leaves no greasy film, which is why it often replaces heavier oils and silicone emollients in formulas.
It smooths and softens the skin, improves the glide of the product and helps distribute pigments evenly. In our range, you'll find it in our moisturising face foundations.
Did you know?: The names of caprylic and capric acids come from the Latin "capra", meaning goat - these fatty acids were first described in goat milk fat.
