Dicaprylyl ether is an oil derived from caprylic acid and is used to enhance the texture of the ingredient as well as of the skin and hair. Even being an oil, this magic ingredient is non-comedogenic and does not clog pores or cause acne breakouts. Dicaprylyl ether has fast-spreading capabilities and acts as an emollient and a solvent in formulations.
Dicaprylyl Ether is known to form protective layer on the skin, keeping it out of harm’s way. It moisturizes and enhances the skin’s lipid layer, without leaving it oily. The smooth, dry feel of Dicaprylyl ether is what makes it so popular in skin care products.
