Neopentyl Glycol DiheptanoateBarrier
A light synthetic ester used for fast spread and a dry, silky skin feel.
What it does
Neopentyl glycol diheptanoate is a low-viscosity ester emollient. It glides on easily, conditions the skin surface, and dries down to a light, powdery-smooth finish, so it is used to cut greasiness in lotions and color products. It is a texture-and-feel ingredient rather than a skin active.
