Overview
Triethoxycaprylylsilane is a commonly used binding agent.
Frequently seen on pigments like iron oxides and mica, this ingredient is used as a coating to allow the pigments to disperse better in oily environments. In other words, triethoxycaprylylsilane creates hydrophobic pigments, which leads to more vibrant color expression.
In addition, this ingredient can be seen as a coating on the sunscreen minerals zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. This oil-loving coating allows more thorough dispersion of these minerals throughout the SPF products, which can result in the product achieving a higher SPF.
