Glyceryl caprylate



While naturally derived from coconut, palm, sunflower (etc) oil, it is considered a synthetic as it requires a multi-step process to synthesize. The first step is saponification of oils to obtain the glycerin. The glycerin is then mixed with stearic acid, a fatty acid that comes from animal and vegetable fats and oils.
It serves primarily as a skin conditioning agent. It can be used in combination with Grapefruit Seed Extract and Potassium Sorbate or other preservatives to boost the anti-microbial properties.
It can increase skin penetration of other ingredients so be sure all of the other ingredients in the product are safe and non-toxic.
Allowed in EcoCert products but not allowed in USDA certified products through the National Organic Program.
