Produced via chemical synthesis to high purity standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What it does:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Caprylyl Glycol is a multifunctional ingredient that bridges the gap between skincare benefits and formula protection. Primary functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Humectant:<\/strong> Attracts and binds moisture to the skin. Provides light, non-sticky hydration. Improves skin softness and suppleness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Preservative booster:<\/strong> Works synergistically with primary preservatives. Enhances antimicrobial efficacy, especially against fungi and yeast. Allows for lower overall preservative concentrations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Skin conditioning:<\/strong> Contributes to a smooth, silky after-feel. Improves the sensory elegance of creams and lotions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stabilizer:<\/strong> Helps maintain formula integrity over time. Prevents degradation of sensitive ingredients.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why we use it:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We include Caprylyl Glycol in our overnight repair cream as a gentle humectant and preservation booster. It&#8217;s particularly effective when paired with Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, or Benzyl Glycol. Creates robust, broad-spectrum preservative systems at minimal concentrations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INCI: CAPRYLYL GLYCOLType: Humectant,
