Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Summary

Triethoxycaprylylsilane coats and hydrophobizes the inorganic colorant particles (Titanium Dioxide/iron oxides) in both the Opuliss Beauty BB Cream and Tinted Moisturizer families, improving their dispersion in the silicone/ester phase and their water-repellency once applied. It appears in 54 products in our range.

About

On an ingredient list it is written as Triethoxycaprylylsilane. Its CAS reference is 2943-75-1. It is synthetic (silane).

In the Formula

It is part of the silicone system. It sets slip and spread, and it is the reason a formula glides rather than drags.

The Evidence

It is a listed cosmetic ingredient with an established function in the EU CosIng inventory. We hold no finished product study on it and do not imply one. We cite what the ingredient is assessed for, not what a finished product was claimed to do.

Honest Limits

Triethoxycaprylylsilane does its job inside the formula. It is not an active, and nothing on this page should be read as a treatment claim.
