Dicaprylyl carbonate Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Dioctyl Carbonate, can be used in cosmetic formulations to improve various skin conditions, an in sunscreen.

Application

Dicaprylyl carbonate is a skin-conditioning agent, emollient, and solvent that helps enhance the absorption of other ingredients in a cosmetic formula. It may be derived from synthetic or animal sources. it is a fast-spreading, dry emollient whose ability to dissolve crystalline UV filters and to disperse pigments makes it particularly suitable for sun care products.

Origin

Dicaprylyl carbonate can be synthetic or natural (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 used in skincare and cosmetics is usually made synthetically. It is a diester of carbonic acid with caprylyl alcohol.
