You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.

Within a product, Caprylic Triglyceride can thicken the product and make spreadability easier by dissolving clumping compounds. An added benefit of Caprylic Triglyceride is its antioxidant properties.

Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid. Caprylic Triglyceride has not been found to be toxic for human use in concentrations under 50%.

While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.

  • It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
  • It helps improve product application.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient. It is unlikely to irritate skin, and works well with pretty much all other ingredients.

The combination of all these properties makes Centella Asiatica Extract effective at soothing the skin.

Best Azelaic Acid product I've tried
I was struggling to use Azelaic Acid on my skin and this was the product that worked the best. It has the effectiveness of a 10% concentration in a formulation rich in soothing ingredients like panthenol and centella. All the irritation I was having with azelaic acid disappeared and now it has become one of my stapple ingredients. My only issue with peach slices is that I don't live in the US and I need to pay import taxes over a product that at baseline is not very cheap. If you live in the US, I would recommend highly this product.
