Caprylyl Glycol acts as a humectant, preservative and moisturizing agent. It is semi solid to white solid substance which has bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties which are useful in cosmetics as a preservative. It is an alternative to effisin CG, Optiphen OD, Lexgard® O.
Caprylyl Glycol improves skin feel of cosmetic formulations owing to their moisturizing properties. In addition, it can be used either alone or in combination with other preservatives to combat microorganisms directly and thus reduce or eliminate body odour, acne or mycoses. It is applicable in skin care products, deodorants and moisturizing formulations
