Description
Propylene glycol dicaprylate is a synthetic diester compound formed by the esterification of propylene glycol and caprylic acid (a C8 fatty acid). Its chemical name is 1,2-propylene glycol dicaprylate. As a lightweight emollient ester and a highly effective solvent, it combines excellent spreadability, stability, and low viscosity. It is widely used in high-end skincare, sunscreen, and makeup formulations, and is particularly well-suited for formulations that seek a refreshing skin feel.
Properties
Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow, transparent, oily liquid, odorless or with a slight oily odor.
Solubility: Miscible with vegetable oils, silicone oils, and ethanol; insoluble in water.
Viscosity: Very low (approximately 10-15 mPa·s at 25°C), with excellent flowability.
Refreshing Skin Feel: Rapidly absorbed, without any stickiness or residue.
High Stability: Resistant to oxidation and not susceptible to rancidity during long-term storage.
Compatibility: Compatible well with sunscreens (such as OMC), colorants, and active ingredients.
