Description

Caprylyl Glyceryl Ether is a non-ionic surfactant and emollient derived from natural fatty alcohols and glycerol. This compound is valued for its excellent skin compatibility, mildness, and ability to enhance the penetration and stability of active ingredients in formulations. It serves as a key functional ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to improve product performance and sensory profile.

Application

• Skin Care Formulations: Used as a solubilizer and penetration enhancer for active ingredients in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Hair Care Products: Acts as a conditioning agent and emollient in shampoos, conditioners, and styling products.
• Cosmetic Emulsions: Functions as a non-ionic co-emulsifier to stabilize oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Employed in transdermal drug delivery systems to improve the bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Sun Care Products: Enhances the solubility and dispersion of UV filters in sunscreen formulations.
• Cleansing Products: Provides mild cleansing and foam-boosting properties in facial washes and shower gels.
