Glyceryl Caprylate

Glyceryl caprylate is a monoester of glycerol and caprylic acid (a naturally occurring fatty acid found in coconut and palm oils). It is a 100% plant-derived, Ecocert-approved multifunctional ingredient that acts simultaneously as a preservative booster, mild emollient, and co-emulsifier. Its antimicrobial activity targets gram-positive bacteria and fungi, making it a popular alternative or complement to synthetic preservatives in 'clean' formulations.
