Caprylhydroxamic Acid is an organic hydroxamic acid and fungistatic agent extensively utilized as a preservative booster in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Commonly identified in the industry as CHA or Octanohydroxamic acid, this functional ingredient acts as a high-performance chelating agent, neutralizing metal ions to prevent mold growth and enhance the stability of creams, lotions, and shampoos. We offer this cosmetic-grade raw material with competitive factory pricing to support safe and effective product development. Our supply chain ensures consistent bulk supply availability and customized specifications, fully accompanied by MSDS, TDS, COA documentation for regulatory safety and compliance.

Caprylyl hydroxyamic acid is an ideal organic acid with excellent antibacterial and antibacterial properties at neutral pH, and can be used in chemical preservative-free formulation systems. Caprylyl hydroxyamic acid is an organic acid that remains in an unionized state from acidic to neutral.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does Caprylhydroxamic Acid refer to the specific hydroxamic derivative or the standard fatty acid?
A: Caprylhydroxamic Acid is strictly verified under CAS 7377-03-9 as the hydroxamic acid derivative of octanoic acid, distinguishing it from standard Caprylic Acid to ensure the unique iron-chelating capability required for preservation systems. -
Q:
What is the primary functional advantage of Caprylhydroxamic Acid in cosmetic formulations?
A: Caprylhydroxamic Acid is typically applied as a chelating agent that remains active at neutral pH (unlike many organic acids), allowing it to effectively inhibit mold growth and boost the efficacy of preservative blends in mild skin care products.
