Product Description

Green Stone Swiss supplies high-purity Caproyl Sphingosine manufactured under strict GMP-aligned quality systems, ensuring consistent batch-to-batch performance for professional cosmetic and personal care brands worldwide. Our direct factory supply model delivers reliable bulk quantities with full technical documentation and free sample support.

Caproyl Sphingosine is a caproylated sphingoid base used as a barrier lipid, not as a perfume. There is no single CAS for the commercial grade. It is supplied as a white to off-white powder that dissolves in ethanol and warm oils and is poorly soluble in water.

Barrier serums and scalp treatments continue to specify this INCI when a short-chain sphingolipid is needed beside ceramides. Cosmetic-grade material is a practical bulk lipid when the COA states the assay.

Key Benefits & Applications

Caproyl Sphingosine is a sphingolipid used in barrier and scalp leave-on systems.

• Supports lipid-replenishing creams and serums
• Fits formulas aimed at slowing surface water loss
• Used in face treatments and scalp lotions
• Pairs with ceramides in a multi-lipid chassis
• Typical use level: 0.05–0.2% in leave-on formulations

Formulation Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to dissolve Caproyl Sphingosine before cool-down.

• Suggested Use Level: Typical 0.05–0.2% in the finished formula
• pH Range: Suggested 5.0–7.0
• Addition: Pre-dissolve in ethanol or warm oil, then add to the oil phase
• Stability: Protect from moisture; confirm the assay on the COA
• Combine with Phytosphingosine when a second sphingoid base is needed in the same barrier chassis.
