CAPRYLHYDROXAMIC ACID (AND) GLYCERIN

The query explicitly flags an Inolex caprylhydroxamic acid-based natural preservative blend and asks whether the specific grade carries glycerin as its carrier. Inolex's LexGuard portfolio includes multiple caprylhydroxamic acid grades differentiated by carrier: propanediol (LexGuard CHA-P, INCI: CAPRYLHYDROXAMIC ACID (and) PROPANEDIOL) and glycerin (INCI: CAPRYLHYDROXAMIC ACID (and) GLYCERIN). Both are real, commercially available materials. The glycerin-carrier grade is the one most commonly positioned for 'natural' or 'clean beauty' formulations because glycerin is a naturally-derived humectant. However, because the query itself contains a verification flag ('confirm whether grade carries Glycerin'), the exact grade has not been confirmed from a supplier spec sheet. The canonical INCI given here (CAPRYLHYDROXAMIC ACID (and) GLYCERIN) is the correct INCI if the glycerin grade is confirmed; if the CoA shows propanediol, the INCI changes accordingly. Confidence is set to 0.72 rather than higher to reflect this unresolved grade ambiguity — the underlying material family is well-established, but the precise blend composition requires supplier documentation verification.
