Caprylyl Glycol is a humectant and emollient, meaning it attracts and preserves moisture.

It is a common ingredient in many products, especially those designed to hydrate skin. The primary benefits are retaining moisture, skin softening, and promoting a healthy skin barrier.

Though Caprylyl Glycol is an alcohol derived from fatty acids, it is not the kind that can dry out skin.

This ingredient is also used as a preservative to extend the life of products. It has slight antimicrobial properties.

(Using since Sept 2023) Solid drug-store level product that does what it promises. I feel that it sets my concealer in place well after application. It is also great for touching up my face on occasion. Knocked it down a star just because I wish the formulation was a bit more sheer/transparent.
