Overview
Dicaprylyl carbonate is an ingredient that falls in the class of emollients.
An emollient is an ingredient that affects how the skin feels by filling in microcracks on the surface of the skin and giving it a smooth appearance. Dicaprylyl carbonate, specifically, is a very fast spreading emollient that gives an incredibly light weight feel to the product.
It can also function as a solvent, in which other ingredients that may not normally be compatible can be dissolved together in the dicaprylyl carbonate.
In addition, this ingredient works well as a solvent for suspending insoluble solids, such as mineral sunscreens or iron oxide pigments.
