Dipentaerythrityl Hexacaprylate/Hexacaprate
Dipentaerythrityl Hexacaprylate/Hexacaprate is a medium viscosity, odorless oily liquid ester derived from decanoic acid and a polyol (dipentaerythritol) with octanoate and pentanoate groups. It functions as an emollient, emulsifier, and viscosity controller in cosmetic formulations. It is described as slightly oily but not tacky or sticky, leaving skin feeling soft and conditioned. It is often used alongside Tridecyl Stearate and Tridecyl Trimellitate as a trio to replicate the aesthetic and textural properties of mineral oil.
Provides an excellent skin afterfeel, leaving skin soft and conditioned without tackiness or stickiness. Serves as an emollient that can help replace mineral oil in formulations while matching its aesthetic and textural properties.
