Coco-Caprylate in SunSootha After Sun

What is Coco-Caprylate?

Coco-caprylate is a synthetic ingredient that is derived from coconut oil and/or palm kernel oil (SunSootha's is derived from coconut).

It is often used as an emollient and skin conditioning agent in cosmetic and personal care products, including moisturisers, sunscreens, and hair care products.

Despite being derived from plant sources, coco-caprylate is considered a synthetic ingredient because it is chemically modified from its original natural form.

We believe that coco-caprylate is a more sustainable alternative to other synthetic emollients, as it is derived from renewable plant sources. 

Why is Coco-Caprylate good for sunburn recovery?

Coco-caprylate is often used in skincare and hair care products as an emollient and moisturiser, as it can help to improve the texture and feel of the product and promote hydration and softness of the skin.

While it is not typically used as a primary ingredient in sunburn recovery products, such as SunSootha, the inclusion of coco-caprylate may help to soothe and moisturise dry or damaged skin, which can be helpful for reducing discomfort and promoting healing.

Additionally, coco-caprylate is often used as a lightweight and non-greasy alternative to other common emollients, which can be beneficial for people who prefer lighter textures in their skincare products.

However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of any sunburn recovery product will depend on the specific formulation and concentration of ingredients, and there is no guarantee that coco-caprylate alone will be sufficient for promoting sunburn recovery, which is why SunSootha has a plethora of incredible sunburn recovery ingredients. It is always important to follow appropriate sunburn care practices, such as avoiding further sun exposure, staying hydrated, and seeking medical attention if necessary.
