CAPRYLYL GLYCOL

Safety grade: A

Caprylyl glycol is a lightweight, colorless liquid derived from coconut oil that works like a humectant, meaning it helps attract and retain moisture. It's commonly used in skincare and haircare products to keep skin and hair soft and hydrated.

This ingredient softens and conditions skin and hair while drawing moisture into the stratum corneum, helping products feel less greasy and improving overall hydration and smoothness.
