Caprylyl Caprylate/CaprateBarrier

A coconut-derived light ester emollient used as a dry-feeling alternative to silicone.

What it does

Caprylyl Caprylate/Caprate is a coconut-derived ester. It is a light, fast-spreading emollient with a dry, silky after-feel, so it is used to soften skin and add slip, often as a plant-based alternative to volatile silicones. It is an emollient ingredient rather than a skin active.
