Description
Dicaprylyl Carbonate - Multifunctional Dry Emollient for a Velvet Sensoriality
Dicaprylyl Carbonate is an innovative product of natural origin, recognized as one of the highest-performing "dry" emollients in the cosmetic industry. It is a sustainable and effective alternative to synthetic silicones. It stands out through a rapid spreading capacity, offering finished products a luxurious, non-greasy texture and a silky final sensation. In addition to its exceptional sensory profile, Dicaprylyl Carbonate acts as an excellent solvent for UV filters and a dispersing agent for pigments, making it indispensable in modern sun protection and makeup formulations.
Ingredients: Dicaprylyl Carbonate.
Characteristics
- Appearance: Clear, colorless, almost odorless liquid.
- Spreading speed (Spreading value): Approximately 1600 mm²/10 min - fast-spreading emollient.
- Solubility: Soluble in oils and esters (added to the oil phase).
- Quality: 100% natural origin, vegan, suitable for organic and natural cosmetics.
Tests and Clinical Studies
Product performance has been documented through numerous laboratory tests conducted by the manufacturer:
- Solubilization of UV Filters: Studies show a superior capacity to dissolve crystalline UV filters, preventing their recrystallization and optimizing the SPF value of the final product.
- Makeup Removal Efficacy: Comparative tests demonstrate that Dicaprylyl Carbonate improves the cleansing power of makeup removal lotions, facilitating the removal of resistant makeup and impurities.
- Pigment Dispersion: Technical evaluations confirm a much more uniform distribution of mineral pigments (such as titanium dioxide or iron oxides), preventing their clumping in formulas.
- Silicone Alternative: Sensory panels classified this emollient as having a skin feel comparable to synthetic silicones, but with the advantage of significantly superior bioavailability and biodegradability.
Main Properties
- Dry-Touch Effect: Quickly penetrates the skin, leaving a matte, velvety finish without any trace of greasy shine or sticky sensation.
- Texture Improver: Balances the sensation provided by heavy vegetable oils or butters, making the final formula much more pleasant to apply.
- Solvent and Booster: Enhances the efficacy of other active ingredients by facilitating their penetration into the epidermis.
- Chemical Stability: Resists oxidation and is stable in a wide pH range, making it ideal for antiperspirants and deodorants.
- Indirect Hydration: Helps strengthen the lipid barrier by forming a fine, protective film that reduces transepidermal water loss.
Usage Recommendations
General recommended dosage: 1% – 20%.
In face creams and oily serums: 1% - 10%.
In sun protection products, hair sprays, and makeup removers: 5% - 15%.
Can be used up to 20% or even more in "dry" body oils.
Applications
- Sun protection products: creams, lotions, sprays.
- Moisturizing day creams for combination or oily skin.
- Makeup removers, cleansing oils, biphasic micellar waters.
- Makeup products: foundation, concealer, BB Cream.
- Deodorants and antiperspirants.
Formulation Guide
- Procedure: Introduced into the oil phase of the formulation.
- Temperature: Heat stable, can be heated up to 75-80°C, but it is also excellently suited for cold processes.
- Compatibility: Mixes perfectly with any other type of vegetable oil, wax, or cosmetic ester.
- Technical tip: Use Dicaprylyl Carbonate to reduce the excessive viscosity of some too-dense emulsions, giving them greater fluidity and easier application.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is Dicaprylyl Carbonate comedogenic?
No, it is considered non-comedogenic. Its light structure and rapid spreading rate make it ideal even for acne-prone skin, as it does not block pores.
Can it replace silicone in my recipes?
Yes, it is one of the best vegetable alternatives for Cyclomethicone. It offers the same "glide" and dry finish but is biodegradable and accepted in organic cosmetics.
Why is it recommended in sun products?
Many UV filters are in powder form or are very dense. Dicaprylyl Carbonate dissolves them perfectly, ensuring that sun protection is evenly distributed across the entire skin surface.
Safety in Use
Profile: Safe, biodegradable, and very well-tolerated dermatologically.
Precautions: Exclusively for external cosmetic use. Keep out of reach of children. Do not ingest.
Storage: Store in the original packaging at room temperature, away from light and moisture. It has a generous shelf life due to its resistance to oxidation.

I like it and use it to compose body oil or body milk, does not leave greasy traces but gives a feeling of moisturizing,. if you use butters and vegetable oils heavier, replace some of them with this dicaprilil, you will notice the difference.
