Have you ever wondered what gives Aloderma lotions and moisturizers that luxurious, silky feel? It's not just the aloe vera (although that helps!), but also an ingredient called coco-caprylate/caprate. This fancy-sounding name hides a natural gem that comes from coconut oil, and it's a key player in making our farm-to-skin products so delightful to use.

But coco-caprylate/caprate is more than just a texture booster. It's a multi-talented hero that nourishes, protects, and even helps your skin absorb all the other good stuff we pack into our formulas. Let's dig a little deeper:

The Science Behind the Silkiness

Coco-caprylate/caprate is a fatty acid, a type of lipid naturally found in coconut oil. We use a special process to extract it and transform it into a lightweight liquid that blends seamlessly with our aloe vera base. This creates a thin, silky film on your skin that locks in moisture without feeling greasy or heavy. Think of it like a protective hug for your skin, keeping it soft, supple, and happy.

Beyond the Feel: A Skin-Loving Trio of Benefits

1. Nourishment: Coco-caprylate/caprate is rich in fatty acids that help replenish your skin's natural barrier. This barrier is like your skin's own personal bouncer, keeping the good stuff in (hydration, nutrients) and the bad stuff out (irritants, pollutants).
2. Protection: This silky friend shields your skin from environmental aggressors like dry air, harsh winds, and even the sun's damaging rays. It's like an invisible shield that keeps your complexion calm and protected.
3. Enhanced Delivery: Coco-caprylate/caprate acts as a delivery system for other beneficial ingredients. It helps them penetrate deeper into your skin, where they can work their magic more effectively. So, when you use an Aloderma product with coco-caprylate/caprate, you're getting the most out of every single ingredient.

Naturally Good, Farm-to-Skin Goodness

At Aloderma, we're all about using nature's best ingredients to create the most effective skincare. That's why we love coco-caprylate/caprate. It's a naturally-derived, readily biodegradable ingredient that's gentle on even the most sensitive skin. Plus, it comes from sustainably sourced coconuts, which aligns perfectly with our farm-to-skin ethos.
