About Caprylyl Pyrrolidone

Caprylyl Pyrrolidone is a substituted heterocyclic organic compound.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water, form foam during use, and smooth hair by reducing tangling and a rough feel.[2] It is also used to lower surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
