  • Applications

    Dicaprylyl carbonate is used primarily as an emollient and a light solvent in cosmetics and personal care, providing a smooth, fast-absorbing feel without a greasy residue. It also serves as a solvent and carrier for active ingredients and fragrance oils in skincare and perfume formulations. In coatings, inks, and adhesives, it acts as a solvent/diluent and processing aid to improve dispersion and handling of polymers, resins, and pigments. It is also used as a solvent or diluent in household cleaning products and can function as a solvent/carrier in certain pharmaceutical topical formulations, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
