High Quality Cosmetic Raw Materials Coco Caprylate Caprate
- INCI:Coco-caprylate / caprate
- Cas No:95912-86-0
- Appearance:Clear, colorless to slightly yellow liquid, characteristic odor
- Solubility:Oil-soluble
- Manufacture:Coconut oil is first hydrolyzed to yield fatty acids and glycerol. The fatty acids undergo distillation to separate them into fractions of different chain lengths. The C8 caprylic acid and C10 capric acid fractions are then re-esterified with glycerol.
Products Description
Ester of natural fatty alcohol, caprylic acid and capric acid. 100% derived from natural, renewable feedstocks. Has unique chemical composition and chain length distribution, making it much lighter than traditional grades of coco caprylate/caprate esters. Saponification value 190-220 mgKOH/, specific gravity 0.856-0.862, refractive index 1.436 � 1.440.
Benefits
