"Silanes" refers to a group of chemical compounds consisting of a silicon backbone and hydrogen (analogous to alkanes), "capryl" refers to caprylic alcohol (1-octanol) as the alcoholic component of the molecule. The substance is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as a binding agent (ensures the desired cohesion of powdery, powdery or creamy products, prevents the separation of solids and liquid components).
