Coco-caprylate
Description
Coco-caprylate (CAS 95912-86-0) is a lightweight ester derived from coconut fatty alcohols and caprylic acid, used as an emollient, carrier, and skin-feel modifier in cosmetic formulations.
It delivers a dry, non-greasy skin feel that synthetic silicones traditionally provided, making it a preferred choice in clean-label and silicone-free product development for modern brands.
In skincare and color cosmetics, this ingredient functions as a spreading agent and emollient base in serums, foundations, and sunscreens, improving texture without any unwanted heaviness.
It acts as a solvent and carrier for UV filters, pigments, and active ingredients, enabling uniform dispersion across formulations. In hair care, it is used in leave-on treatments and sprays.
This ester provides lightweight lubrication without residue buildup. Industrial and cosmetic-grade lubricant formulations also use it where a bio-based, low-viscosity ester is needed for surface slip.
The product is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid. It is available in cosmetic-grade and technical-grade specifications to meet the requirements of personal care manufacturers and formulators.
Standard packaging includes drums and IBCs, with bulk quantities available for commercial procurement. Our supply chain ensures consistent quality and availability for large-scale industrial manufacturing needs.
