Caprylhydroxamic Acid is an amino acid derived from coconut oil. It is primarily used in cosmetics as a broad-spectrum preservative booster, helping to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi in formulations. It also acts as a chelating agent, binding to metal ions that could otherwise destabilize a product.
