Frequently Asked Questions
What is caprylyl glycol made from?
Caprylyl glycol (CAS 1117-86-8), or 1,2-octanediol, is a diol typically manufactured from C8 feedstocks; it is a synthesized ingredient. It is supplied for cosmetic and personal-care formulation.
What is caprylyl glycol used for?
Caprylyl glycol functions as an emollient and humectant, as a solvent, and as a stabilizing, preservative-boosting agent in personal-care formulations. RawSource supplies it in bulk to formulators.
Is caprylyl glycol the same as glycerin?
No. Caprylyl glycol is 1,2-octanediol (C8H18O2), an eight-carbon diol, while glycerin is a three-carbon triol (glycerol). They are chemically distinct and not interchangeable in formulation.
What is the chemical formula and HS code for caprylyl glycol?
Caprylyl glycol is C8H18O2, CAS 1117-86-8, classified under HS 2905.39 (acyclic diols, other). RawSource provides a CoA and SDS with each lot.
What is the cost of bulk caprylyl glycol?
Pricing depends on grade, packaging, and order volume. RawSource quotes industrial quantities; request a bulk quote with your target volume for current pricing.
