Product Description

BUTYLENE GLYCOL DICAPRYLATE / DICAPRATE is a diester derived from butylene glycol and caprylic/capric fatty acids, presenting as a colourless to slightly yellowish oily liquid. This emollient ester is characterised by excellent chemical stability, low acidity, controlled saponification parameters, and minimal residual hydroxyl and iodine values, making it particularly suitable for cosmetic and personal care formulations. Its light, non-greasy texture and good spreading properties make it an ideal ingredient for skin and hair care products, where it provides enhanced sensory characteristics and improved product performance.
