Dicaprylyl CarbonateBarrier
A light, dry-touch emollient that improves spreadability and leaves a velvety, non-greasy finish.
What it does
Dicaprylyl carbonate is an ester emollient prized for its silky, fast-absorbing feel. It thins out heavier oils and butters so a formula spreads easily and finishes dry rather than slick, and it helps dissolve UV filters in sunscreens. Like other emollients its contribution is texture and softening; it does not change skin function on its own.
