– Sold OutCoco Caprylate Caprate is an Ecocert lightweight smooth spreading emollient for modern cosmetic applications, and is a clear, mildly yellowish, medium polar oil, with a mean molecular weight, a slightly fatty odour.
Replace part of the plant oil component in your formula with this ester. For example if your formulation includes 15% plant oils then try replacing 5% of the oils with 5% Coco-caprylate (hot or cold). You’ll feel the difference! It is especially wonderful in hair products without the weight and oiliness some products have.
