What is DICAPRYLYL CARBONATE used for?

Dicaprylyl carbonate has multiple uses in the cosmetic industry. It is a skin conditioning agent, solvent, and emollient that is used in a number of skin care and cosmetic products to enhance their properties.

Skin care: Acts as a dry emollient. It conditions the skin and leaves it very smooth without making it oily. Dicaprylyl carbonate also prevents the skin from drying out. Further, it is also non-comedogenic and does not cause acne
Hair care: It deep conditions the hair and forms a protective layer to prevent them from drying out. Moreover, it also protects the hair from harsh weather and external pollutants
Cosmetic products: It improves the texture of cosmetic products and makes them more spreadable. This also means that this ingredient prevents these products from appearing dry or cakey on the skin. Dicaprylyl carbonate is also a solvent that increases the absorption of other ingredients

Origin

Dicaprylyl carbonate can be synthetic or natural (either derived from animals or plants). In plant-based derivatives, Dicaprylyl carbonate is extracted from the caprylic acid that is found in palm kernel oils and coconuts. However, the ingredient that is used in skincare and cosmetics is usually made synthetically. It is a diester of carbonic acid with caprylyl alcohol.
