About XYLITAN CAPRYLATE

A cleansing or emulsifying ingredient that helps oil and water mix and improves rinse-off. It is generally usable, but it can be drying or irritating at higher levels.

Detailed Analysis

This ingredient acts mainly as a surfactant or emulsifier, helping cleanse skin or keep oil and water mixed. Ingredients in this class are often perfectly usable in cosmetics, but the tradeoff is a greater chance of eye stinging, dryness, or irritation than with bland leave-on conditioning ingredients. That keeps the score in the moderate-to-good range rather than the very safest tier.
