About Sodium Caprylate

Sodium caprylate is the sodium salt of caprylic acid.[1] Its solubility and charge state vary according to the components forming the salt and the acidity of the formula, affecting how it interacts with other ingredients. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to reduce surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
