Capryloyl Glycine

Capryloyl glycine is a lipoamino acid, a combination of capric acid (a fatty acid) and glycine (an amino acid). It helps to balance the skin's pH, which can support the skin barrier and reduce the growth of certain microorganisms. It is often used in products targeting oily or acne-prone skin.
