Common Name(s): Bis-caprylylaminoethyl glycine,cosmetic active ingredient,established formulation function

CAS Number: N/a

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Bis-caprylylaminoethyl glycine delivers its characteristic primary cosmetic function — whether active skin conditioning, antioxidant protection, antimicrobial preservation, rheological control, or sensory enhancement — contributing measurable formulation value at its recommended use concentration.

Why It's Used: Formulators select bis-caprylylaminoethyl glycine for its specific functional chemistry that provides the required outcome in their formulation — skin bioactivity, stability contribution, or consumer experience — supported by cosmetic science and regulatory safety data.

How It Works: Bis-caprylylaminoethyl glycine works through the fundamental chemical and biological mechanisms of its molecular class. its physicochemical properties (molecular weight, logp, pka, functional groups) determine interactions with skin proteins, lipid membranes, formulation matrices, and biological receptors — mechanism detailed in peer-reviewed cosmetic chemistry literature.

Typically Found In: Skin care formulations,active products

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Primary Category: Active ingredient – cosmetic active

Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning

Application Areas:

Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%–10%

SOURCING & ETHICS

Vegan Status: Conditional - feedstock declaration required

Halal Status: Unverified - feedstock declaration required (plant, animal and petrochemical routes all exist)

Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier. [audit 2026-07-29 rev2: origin-dependent: the same inci exists in plant, animal and petrochemical versions and the name does not discriminate. determination requires shariah-panel sign-off.]
