Artekas Innovation Coco-Caprylate liquid emollient — 100 g (3.52 oz), fast-absorbing non-greasy finish

Artekas Innovation COCO-CAPRYLATE is a fast-spreading, renewable-based liquid emollient that leaves skin and hair feeling silky, non-greasy, and dry to the touch.

Designed for formulators and DIY makers, this liquid coco-caprylate replaces volatile silicones like cyclomethicone while maintaining a light, velvety finish. It is a low-greasiness ester made from C8–C10 fatty acids and C12–C18 fatty alcohols that absorbs quickly, improves sensory feel, and helps solubilize other cosmetic ingredients. Packaged in a 100 g (3.52 oz) format, this versatile emollient suits face, body, hair, and shower formulations where a non-oily, smooth after-feel is desired.

How will COCO-CAPRYLATE change the feel of my skincare products?

When added to moisturizers, serums, or sunscreens, coco-caprylate creates a lightweight, silky layer without heavy residue. It delivers a dry, velvety finish that improves spreadability and immediate skin sensation.

• Fast absorption for quick application and layering
• Dry-touch finish instead of oily film
• Enhances spread and slip for easier product distribution
• Helps solubilize and carry lipophilic actives

Can I use this ingredient in haircare and styling products?

Yes — coco-caprylate adds shine, softness, and detangling benefits to conditioners, shampoos, and leave-in treatments. It conditions hair strands without weighing them down, producing a natural, silky after-feel.

• Improves hair manageability and reduces tangles
• Adds glossy, non-greasy shine
• Suitable for color and bleach formulations as a conditioning booster
• Works well in rinse-off and leave-on hair products

Is COCO-CAPRYLATE a sustainable and safe choice for formulations?

Artekas Innovation coco-caprylate is 100% renewable-based and commonly chosen as a silicone alternative. It is broadly biocompatible with skin and favored for low greasiness, making it suitable for many consumer-friendly formulations.

• Renewable feedstocks reduce reliance on petrochemicals
• Often used to replace volatile silicones in green concepts
• Low irritation potential when correctly formulated
• Compatible with many emollients, oils, and active ingredients

How should I incorporate this emollient into my DIY or commercial recipes?

COCO-CAPRYLATE is typically added in the oil phase of emulsions or blended into anhydrous systems for immediate sensory improvement. Start with small percentages and adjust to achieve the desired feel and performance in skin or hair products.

• Use in the oil phase of creams, lotions, and sunscreens
• Add to hair serums, conditioners, and leave-ins for slip and shine
• Begin trials at low concentrations (1–10%) and increase as needed
• Mix well with esters, oils, and fragrances for uniform texture

Who is this for: formulators, indie beauty brands, and DIY enthusiasts seeking a lightweight, renewable emollient to replace volatile silicones or improve product feel. Artekas Innovation COCO-CAPRYLATE is ideal for those creating facial moisturizers, serums, sunscreens, conditioners, shampoos, and shower products that require fast absorption, a non-oily finish, and enhanced spreadability.
