Description
Description
Ester of natural fatty alcohol, caprylic acid and capric acid. 100% derived from natural, renewable feedstocks. Has unique chemical composition and chain length distribution, making it much lighter than traditional grades of coco caprylate/caprate esters. Saponification value 190-220 mgKOH/, specific gravity 0.856-0.862, refractive index 1.436 � 1.440.
Benefits
  • Fast spreading, low-greasiness emollient that provides very light skin feel similar to silicone oils
  • Excellent alternative to dimethicone and other silicones or other synthetic emollients esters
  • Can be incorporated with powders, colorants, and UV filters to enhance their solubility
  • Leaves a pleasant, invisible film on the skin that contributes to long-term hydration after application
