What it does
Phenoxyethyl Caprylate is an ester of phenoxyethanol and caprylic acid. It acts as a light emollient and solvent and contributes mild antimicrobial support, so it is used to improve feel while helping protect the formula. It is an emollient-and-formulation ingredient rather than a skin active.
