Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Dicaprylyl carbonate is a lightweight, non-greasy emollient ester derived from caprylic acid and carbonic acid. It is widely used in personal care formulations for its excellent spreading properties and skin conditioning effects. The ingredient helps improve the sensory profile of creams and lotions by providing a dry, silky finish. It enhances absorption without leaving an oily residue, making it highly suitable for skin and hair care applications.
