About

Isopentyl Caprylamide is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Isopentyl Caprylamide is the isopentyl (isoamyl) amide of caprylic acid (C8), functioning as a fragrance ingredient and skin conditioning agent. The branched C5 amine paired with C8 fatty acid gives it a mild, slightly waxy fragrance profile. Amides of fatty acids are generally chemically stable and well-tolerated, with no EU cosmetic restrictions identified.
