About Xylityl Sesquicaprylate

Xylityl Sesquicaprylate is a mixture of mono- and diesters of hexitol anhydride derived from caprylic acid and xylitol.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, reduce the prominence of unpleasant odors, and create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2] It is also used to attract moisture to formulations and the skin’s surface to help maintain hydration, smooth and soften the skin’s surface, and lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
