Description
Capryloyl glycine is an amino acid that offers many benefits in anti-aging skin care. As an ingredient, it is used as a preservative, but it also helps to slow down the growth of bacteria. In some cases, CHA has been used as a substitute for parabens in skin care products. CHA can be found in creams and hair care products. The ingredient helps to prevent the formation of bacteria, as well as extending the shelf life and maintaining the effectiveness of the product. When combined with other ingredients, CHA reacts well and in rare cases can cause slight irritation.
