Coco-Caprylate/Caprate is a clear, slightly yellowish oil, stable to oxidation and with a slightly greasy odor, is characterized by its ease of use and its high level of biocompatibility with the skin, allowing it to penetrate the epidermis well.

Production process

The "Coco-Caprylate/Caprate" is an esterified oil, primarily derived from coconut vegetable oil but some from palm oil. It is a oil derived from pure vegetable oils, which have undergone two successive transformations: the first is to dissociate the fatty acids and the second is to recombine the resulting molecules (fatty acids) either with glycerin or with fatty alcohols or even polyalcohols. The esterification results in the formation of anesterified oil with a composition and properties different from the original vegetable oil.

Coco-Caprylate/Caprate is a vital skincare ingredient that provides nourishment and protection to the skin across all its dimensions.

Its effects on the skin include

1. Moisturization: Coco-Caprylate/Caprate exhibits excellent moisturizing properties, effectively preventing moisture loss and maintaining skin hydration by penetrating the stratum corneum for long-lasting effects.

2. Has emollient properties. It helps to restore skin hydration, thus providing the skin with lightness, softness, and suppleness. It has the ability to spread well and easily penetrate the lipid layers of the skin. Moreover, it leaves a non-greasy and non-shiny finish on the skin, without a drying effect.

3. Formation of a protective barrier: This ingredient forms a protective film on the skin's surface, shielding it from external aggressors and pollutants to preserve overall skin health.

4. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits: Coco-Caprylate/Caprate possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that alleviate dryness, itching, and sensitivity while soothing the skin, reducing redness and inflammation for improved skin health.

5. Enhancement of skin texture: By promoting cell renewal and metabolism, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate improves skin texture for a smoother, more refined appearance with enhanced elasticity.
