Caprylyl Glycol is a polyhydroxy alcohol compound commonly used in skincare products as a mild preservative and moisturizer. It not only effectively inhibits bacterial growth but also helps the skin retain moisture, leaving a refreshing and non-sticky texture.

Polyols are a class of alcohols containing multiple hydroxyl groups, such as glycerin, propylene glycol, and butylene glycol. They not only moisturize but also enhance product stability and improve user experience.

The 1,2-octanediol polyol combination is a highly effective yet gentle preservative system widely used in skincare products such as serums, lotions, and masks. It is currently one of the most popular alternatives to traditional preservatives on the market!

Traditional preservatives such as phenoxyethanol and DMDM hydantoin, while effective, may cause irritation or sensitization with long-term use. Octanediol + polyols, on the other hand, are considered "natural preservative-like" ingredients. They not only provide stable preservative effects but also synergistically moisturize, reducing irritation to the skin barrier.
