For adults, Coco-Caprylate is generally safe when applied to the skin in normal cosmetic products. It helps make lotions and creams feel smooth and is considered low risk for cancer, allergies, or harm to reproduction.
Use products that list Coco-Caprylate the way you would any lotion or oil. Do a small patch test on your inner arm if you have sensitive skin or a history of reactions. Avoid intentionally inhaling sprays that contain it (like fine mists). If you get irritation, rinse the area and stop using the product.
A formal cosmetic safety review noted it is allowed in cosmetics but may have limits on concentration and that skin, eye or lung irritation is possible (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Watch for redness, stinging, swelling, eye irritation, coughing or breathing changes. If those occur, stop use and seek medical advice. Keep products out of reach of children and avoid using near the eyes or broken skin.
