About Potassium Caprylate/Caprate

Potassium Caprylate/Caprate is the potassium salt of a mixture of caprylic acid and capric acid.[1] Its solubility and charge state vary depending on the salt-forming components and the formula’s acidity, which also affects how it interacts with other ingredients. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities be washed away with water and to help ingredients that do not dissolve well in water disperse more evenly in the water phase.[2]
