{"product_id":"emolid-cc-natural-silicone-alternative-essentially-natural","title":"Essentially Natural Emolid CC (Coconut-derived Ester)","description":"\u003cp\u003eEmolid CC is a coconut-derived cosmetic ester used to give formulations a light, silky, low-greasy skin feel. It is a familiar emollient in natural-focused cosmetic formulation and is often chosen by formulators looking for elegant spreadability, fast absorption and a smooth finish. This clear, oil-soluble liquid works well where a lighter alternative to heavy plant oils is needed, while still offering slightly more emollience than very dry-touch esters such as Emolid ISN. It is especially well suited to creams, lotions, facial oils, haircare, body oils and massage products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e♡ Why we love it: This is a beautifully versatile emollient for natural-focused formulation work. It gives products a polished, lightweight finish with excellent slip, making it a useful choice when a formulation needs to feel smooth and modern without relying on silicones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eINCI Name: Coco-Caprylate\/Caprate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIngredient Type:
