# Laboratory determination of Glyceryl caprylate ( CAS n°26402-26-6)

## You want to determine the amount of glyceryl caprylate present in your cosmetic products in accordance with current regulations.

### What is Glyceryl caprylate?

Glyceryl caprylate, also known as glyceryl caprylate , is formed by transforming glycerol with caprylic acid into an ester. It is therefore a chemical compound often used in cosmetics for its emollient, moisturising and antimicrobial properties.

### What are the properties of Glyceryl caprylate?

Glyceryl caprylate is often found in cosmetics and personal care products for its properties:

  Mild preservative: often used in combination with another preservative Texturising agent: makes cosmetics easy and pleasant to use Emollient agent: softens and smoothes the skin Moisturising agent: helps retain moisture in the skin
### Why measure glyceryl caprylate?

Glyceryl caprylate is widely accepted and used in cosmetic formulations, but manufacturers are required to comply with current regulations. In Europe, Glyceryl caprylate is regulated by Regulation EC No. 1223/2009.
