Emollient
Emollients are among the most versatile and essential ingredients used in personal care products today. They allow formulators to control the final product's all-important feel.
Emollients are designed to help formulators deliver particular sensory experiences into personal care formulations. Properties important in this class of ingredients are firmness, spreadability, greasiness, absorbency, slipperiness, gloss, and others.
But beyond that, emollients can provide a range of functionalities – from moisturization, solubilization, and lubrication to improving skin's elasticity and substantivity and adding gloss.
Careful selection of an emollient can invigorate the formula, making it perfect for the application. So what's the problem? There are literally thousands of choices of emollients available for evaluation—and a product needs to be finished right away.Dicaprylyl carbonate is a diester (double ester) of carbonic acid and caprylyl alcohol (1-Octanol containing eight carbon atoms) and is the powerful performer in fast-spreading emollients.
