Description :

Overview of Glyceryl Caprylate

Glyceryl Caprylate is a monoglyceride ester derived from glycerin and caprylic (or caprylic/capric) fatty acids. It is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, and topical formulations for its emollient, skin-conditioner, and mild antimicrobial/emulsifying properties. It helps improve skin feel, product texture, and stability while contributing to preservation in certain formulations.

It is typically supplied as a viscous liquid or light-colored oily liquid. Glyceryl Caprylate is often used together with other emollients and surfactants such as Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, and emulsifiers like Polysorbate 20 or 60 to build stable creams, lotions, and skin-care products.

Application of Glyceryl Caprylate

Cosmetic & Personal Care Products

Glyceryl Caprylate is used in moisturisers, creams, body lotions, sunscreens, serums, and facial washes to enhance skin softness, spreadability, and emollience. It helps maintain smooth texture and a pleasant skin feel after application.

Hair Care Products

In conditioners, hair masks, leave-on lotions, and scalp treatments, Glyceryl Caprylate helps condition skin and hair, offering improved texture and moisturising effect without heaviness.

Natural / “Mild” Formulations & Clean Beauty Products

Because of its relatively mild profile and dual function (emollient + mild preservative/emulsifier), Glyceryl Caprylate is often used in “clean beauty”, sulfate-free, paraben-free, or gentle formulations.

Topical and Speciality Formulations

Used in ointment bases, lotions, and topical creams where skin conditioning, smooth application, and mild preservation are desired.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct moisture

• Keep containers tightly closed

• Avoid prolonged skin or eye contact in concentrated form

• Use protective gloves when handling in bulk

When used as recommended in finished formulations, Glyceryl Caprylate is considered safe and suitable for cosmetic and personal care use.
