Dicaprylyl Carbonate DC205 Lightweight Emollient-CAS 1680-31-5
Decyl Oleate (DO) is a high-purity synthetic ester emollient refined by advanced esterification reaction and multi-stage purification technology, which is a core functional raw material widely used in modern high-end cosmetic and personal care industries.
Different from traditional vegetable oils with heavy texture and poor spreadability, and mineral oils with weak skin affinity and easy to cause dull skin, DO has a unique medium-chain ester molecular structure, which has ultra-light texture, excellent spreadability and fast skin absorption.
It can quickly spread on the skin surface to form a thin and breathable protective film, simulate the structure of natural skin sebum, soften skin texture, reduce skin friction, and bring a fresh and non-greasy silky touch. With excellent powder dispersion performance, it can effectively disperse cosmetic pigments, mineral powders and sunscreen agents, avoid powder agglomeration, floating powder and caking, greatly improve the ductility and fitting degree of makeup products, and make the base makeup more even and long-lasting.
The product has excellent chemical stability, can be perfectly compatible with various cosmetic raw materials such as vegetable oils, emulsifiers, silicones and active ingredients, no precipitation or delamination, no oxidation, discoloration or peculiar smell during long-term storage and high-temperature processing, mild and non-irritating, non-sensitizing, non-comedogenic, no harmful impurities, suitable for sensitive skin, oily acne-prone skin, dry skin and infant fragile skin, and is the core raw material for creating lightweight skincare, high-fitting makeup and mild care cosmetic formulas.
