Glyceryl Caprylate

Glyceryl Caprylate is a monoester of glycerin and caprylic acid, a fatty acid. It functions as an emulsifier, helping oil and water to mix, and also acts as an emollient, providing a smooth feel to the skin. Additionally, it has antimicrobial properties, which can help boost the effectiveness of preservatives in cosmetic formulations.
