For adults, Xylityl Caprylate is generally safe when used in skin products. Overall health and safety reviews rate it as low concern.
If you’re an adult: use products as directed. If you have sensitive skin, test a small patch on the inside of your forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin and keep product away from eyes. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your healthcare provider before trying new active ingredient products.
Rare skin irritation or allergic reactions can happen — stop use if you get a rash, swelling, or breathing problems and see a doctor. Public safety reviews list low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and reproductive effects, and the U.S. FDA has designated the ingredient safe for some limited food uses; those listings are the source of the safety conclusions. Also check the full product label: other ingredients in a product may carry separate risks.
