Description
It is used as an emulsifier and film former. As a film former, it creates a film on the skin that retains moisture, preventing its escape. This trapped moisture is beneficial for dry skin as it keeps it moisturized for longer. It has the ability to stabilize oils in water emulsions. It can also be used in pest control products, as Glyceryl Caprylate has antimicrobial properties against bacteria and fungi. This provides a basis to increase organic acids and preservatives.
