- Dicaprylyl Carbonate: A Key Ingredient for Lightweight Textures

11 June 2025

[**Dicaprylyl Carbonate**](https://ecsa-chemicals.ch/en/product/mp-030835-2/) is a lightweight, plant-based emollient that delivers a dry and velvety feel in modern cosmetic formulations. It is ideal for oil-free emulsions, BB creams, face primers and sunscreens where a **non-greasy, silky finish** is required. In advanced skincare and functional make-up, it enhances the distribution of lipophilic actives and boosts sensory performance.

## Sensory and functional benefits of Dicaprylyl Carbonate

- Improves spreadability and product absorption
- Reduces skin shine and greasy feel
- Effective alternative to volatile silicones
- Enhances delivery of lipophilic ingredients

It’s a valuable ingredient for formulators seeking both natural origin and superior sensory attributes.
