Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Other names: Dicaprylyl carbonate, Cetiol® CC

Dicaprylyl Carbonate, also known as Dicaprylyl Carbonate or Cetiol® CC, is an ester and an ingredient in many cosmetic products. This substance is derived from coconut oil and glycerin, and is a light, silky emollient that enhances skin suppleness and hydration. Its main role is to ensure that the skin is nourished by natural moisture, thus improving the overall appearance of the skin. It also aids in the distribution of other ingredients, thus facilitating their penetration into the skin.

Dicaprylyl Carbonate has a wide range of applications in skin and body care, eye and sun care and makeup and is a component of many cosmetic products including creams, lotions, gels, eye shadows and mascaras. It is also used in hair care products as a conditioner to soften and soften hair. In addition, it is also used in certain types of perfumes and deodorants for its ability to improve the consistency and distribution of fragrances. Its subtle, unobtrusive scent makes it an ideal ingredient for these products. At the same time, it is commonly used as an alternative to silicones in cosmetics because it provides similar benefits but is considered less comedogenic, meaning it is less likely to block pores and cause acne.
