Product Overview

Capryloyl Glycine is a multifunctional cosmetic ingredient derived from glycine and caprylic acid, known for its sebum-regulating, antimicrobial, and skin-conditioning properties. It is widely used in cosmetic formulations to help balance oily skin, reduce the growth of acne-causing microorganisms, and improve overall skin clarity.
This ingredient works by normalizing the skin’s microflora and sebum secretion, making it especially effective in acne-prone, oily-skin, and scalp-care products. In addition, Capryloyl Glycine contributes to enhanced skin feel and supports mild deodorizing effects in personal care applications.
Capryloyl Glycine is suitable for modern cosmetic formulations targeting skin purity, oil control, and long-term skin comfort, without harsh antibacterial action.
