An excellent solvent capable of mixing water with normally water-insoluble ingredients. It also functions as a humectant due to its water-loving alcohol groups. Propanediol can control the viscosity of a product by reducing its thickness.
Caprylyl Caprylate/Caprate is a medium-chain ester of a fatty alcohol (capryl alcohol) and a fatty acid (either caprylic acid with 8 carbon atoms or capric acid with 10).
With a structure similar to natural waxes, this ingredient is used as an emollient, making the skin feel softer, smoother, and dry to the touch.
A polymeric ingredient that creates lightweight and refreshing gel textures. It also works as a viscosity controlling agent.
