Evermild™ CG, an alcohol derived from caprylic acid, is often used as part of a preservative blend in skincare. It works synergistically with other preservatives and is most frequently used partnered with other preservatives for its antibacterial properties in cosmetics. In addition to its anti-bacterial characteristics, Caprylyl glycol is a humectant and skinconditioning agent that lends moisturization, emollience and wetting properties to many cosmetic solutions. Also, it contributes to cosmetics as a formulation stabilizer and viscosity regulator.
