Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer, also known as LexFeel N5, is a 100% natural and sustainable sensory emollient derived from coconut, palm, castor, and corn oil. It is a plant-based alternative to silicone-based compounds like dimethicone and cyclomethicone, and is used in skincare products for its frictionless detangling, creaminess-enhancing, and shine-boosting properties. It is often paired with diheptyl succinate, a texture enhancer that is also considered an alternative to silicones in cosmetics.

LexFeel N5 is considered a safe ingredient by the EWG, with a safety rating of 1. Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer can be naturally derived from coconut, palm, castor, and corn oil or produced synthetically. It is often paired with diheptyl succinate, a texture enhancer that is also considered an alternative to silicones in cosmetics. LexFeel N5 is biodegradable and has a low energy manufacturing process compared to the manufacture of silicones. LexFeel N5 is a range of 100% natural and sustainable emollients using bio-based succinic acid. The range is comprised of six emollients, which differ in viscosity, including: LexFeel N5, an alternative to cyclomethicone; LexFeel N20, an alternative to 20 cSt dimethicone; LexFeel N50, an alternative to 50 cSt dimethicone; LexFeel N100, an alternative to 100 cSt dimethicone; LexFeel N200, an alternative to 200 cSt dimethicone; and LexFeel N350, an alternative to 350 cSt dimethicone. These succinate emollients have the highly appealing and differentiated sensory feel of silicone fluids, including feeling silky, powdery, light, dry and nongreasy to the touch. This sensory experience meets the modern consumer’s hygiene and beauty needs, giving the clean, dry and natural feeling consumers want from their personal care routine. The succinate emollients are highly versatile because of their sensory properties and ability to disperse pigments. These fluids can be used in skin care, hair care, color and antiperspirant products to provide shine and a light fast-drying emolliency. In addition to being 100% natural and sustainable, the emollients are readily biodegradable, non-GMO and eco-certified. In natural formulations, they can be used to reduce the greasiness of natural oils. **Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask Ingredients:** * Vitamin C: Brightens, evens out your skin tone, and revitalizes skin’s surface. * Sodium Hyaluronate: Boosts skin’s moisture content, soothes, and defends against moisture loss. * Vitamin E: An antioxidant that helps rid the skin of free radicals. * Arginine: A naturally occurring amino acid; the building block of proteins. * Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: A natural emollient that helps to soften and smooth the skin. * Castanea Sativa (Chestnut) Seed Extract: An antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from environmental damage. * Diheptyl Succinate: A plant-based emollient that helps to improve the skin’s texture and appearance. * Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer: A plant-based emollient that helps to improve the skin’s texture and appearance. * Pentylene Glycol: A humectant that helps to keep the skin hydrated. * Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea)Butter: A natural emollient that helps to soften and smooth the skin. * Cetearyl Alcohol: A fatty alcohol that helps to thicken and stabilize emulsions. * Niacinamide: A form of vitamin B3 that helps to improve the skin’s texture and appearance. * Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer: A synthetic polymer that helps to thicken and stabilize emulsions. * Glycerin: A humectant that helps to keep the skin hydrated. * Sorbitan Stearate: A surfactant that helps to emulsify oil and water. * Glyceryl Stearate: A fatty alcohol that helps to thicken and stabilize emulsions. * PEG 100 Stearate: A synthetic polymer that helps to thicken and stabilize emulsions. * Phenoxyethanol: A preservative that helps to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. * Ethylhexylglycerin: A preservative that helps to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. * Phyalis Angulate Extract: An antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from environmental damage. * Ceramide 3: A lipid that helps to protect the skin’s barrier. * Ceramide 6 II: A lipid that helps to protect the skin’s barrier. * Ceramide 1: A lipid that helps to protect the skin’s barrier. * Phytosphingosine: A lipid that helps to protect the skin’s barrier. * Cholesterol: A lipid that helps to protect the skin’s barrier. * Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate: A surfactant that helps to emulsify oil and water. * Carbomer: A synthetic polymer that helps to thicken and stabilize emulsions. * Xanthan Gum: A natural polysaccharide that helps to thicken and stabilize emulsions. * Sodium Hyaluronate: A humectant that helps to keep the skin hydrated. * Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate: A form of vitamin C that helps to brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. * Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate: A chelating agent that helps to prevent the formation of free radicals. * Arginine: A naturally occurring amino acid; the building block of proteins. * Tocopheryl Acetate: A form of vitamin E that helps to protect the skin from environmental damage. * Mentha Arvensis (Cornmint) Oil: An essential oil that helps to soothe and refresh the skin. * Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil: An essential oil that helps to soothe and refresh the skin. * Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange)Peel Oil: An essential oil that helps to brighten and tone the skin. * Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract: An extract that helps to soothe and hydrate the skin.
