This appears to be an incomplete ingredient listing, likely referring to a caprylic-derived component used for emollience or texture. Because the name is truncated, the exact role cannot be confirmed from the label text alone.

Safety assessment is limited because the ingredient name is incomplete. If this is a caprylic ester or fatty component, it is usually low risk for face use, but exact irritation or clogging potential cannot be determined confidently.
