  • Solubility for crystalline UV filters

  • Has a good perfume and propellant solubility and good pH stability, thus suitable for AP/Deo application, especially for liquid systems

  • Improved make-up remover efficacy in facial cleansing lotions

  • Dispersing performance for pigments

  • Suitable for alternative concepts to silicone

  • Good skin compatibility with a dry, cushiony skin feel

  • Dicaprylyl carbonate is desirable for products such as facial moisturizers because it spreads easily and leaves a velvety feel on skin without seeming greasy or slick. It also helps enhance the absorption of other ingredients in a cosmetic formula.
