Glyceryl Caprylate
Glyceryl Caprylate is a naturally derived, plant-based ingredient that helps protect skincare products against bacteria and yeast while supporting a self-preserving formula. In addition to its antimicrobial properties, it also helps moisturise and condition the skin, making it a popular multifunctional ingredient in natural and eco-friendly skincare products.
Ingredients: Glyceryl Caprylate, Glycerin
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water.
Use Level: 0.3–1% General Information: Glyceryl Caprylate is an effective, naturally derived preservative that helps protect skincare products against bacteria and yeast. It works well in formulations with a pH of 4.5-7, is compatible with emulsions, surfactants, and alcohol-based products, and also provides moisturising and skin-conditioning benefits.
Caution: In some formulation types, especially leave-on balms or face masks that are occlusive in nature, this ingredient at the higher level can be quite irritating to the skin and leave it flushed red. In those formulations it is wise to stick to 0.5% or less and to check whether, at this level, the ingredient is still providing adequate preservation.
