A modified amino acid derived from caprylic acid and glycine, used as a skin conditioning agent and mild antimicrobial. Available data suggests good safety, though it remains a less extensively documented ingredient compared to traditional amino acids.

A verdict is a reading of the published evidence, never a guarantee for your skin: any ingredient can irritate someone, so patch test new products and see a professional if you react.
