CETIOL ® CC - Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Description

What Is Dicaprylyl Carbonate?

Dicaprylyl Carbonate is an ingredient widely used in the cosmetics industry. Chemically, it is an ester of a diol (an alcohol with two -OH functional groups) and caprylic acid (a saturated fatty acid with eight carbon atoms). This compound has a light, oily texture and is known for improving product application and absorption into the skin.

Why Use Dicaprylyl Carbonate in Formulations?

Dicaprylyl Carbonate offers many advantages in cosmetic formulations:

• Improves pigment dispersion: very useful in make-up, helping disperse pigments and improve application.
• Emollient: helps soften and smooth the skin, increasing hydration.
• Improves formulation texture: its lightness can improve product texture, making products more pleasant to the touch and easier to apply.
• Non-occlusive: unlike some other emollients, it is non-occlusive, meaning it does not clog pores, making it suitable for oily or acne-prone skin.
• Improves active ingredient absorption: by improving product absorption into the skin, it can help active ingredients work more effectively.

What Is It Particularly Suited To?

Dicaprylyl Carbonate is used in various cosmetic products, including moisturisers, lotions, sunscreens, make-up and hair care products. Its ability to improve application and absorption, while softening and smoothing the skin, makes it an excellent ingredient for products intended to moisturise and care for skin and hair.

Dicaprylyl Carbonate is considered safe for the skin. It is non-irritating and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Environmentally, Dicaprylyl Carbonate is biodegradable, so its environmental impact is low.

How Is It Produced and Where Does It Come From?

Dicaprylyl Carbonate is produced from caprylic acid, a fatty acid found in coconut and palm kernel oils. This fatty acid undergoes a series of chemical reactions to produce Dicaprylyl Carbonate.

CETIOL CC (Dicaprylyl Carbonate): The Key to an Innovative Hair Serum Formulation

The world of cosmetics and personal care is changing rapidly, and consumers are increasingly interested in natural, sustainable and highly effective ingredients. At the centre of this change is Cetiol CC, also known as Dicaprylyl Carbonate. This light emollient offers numerous advantages for both product formulation and the end user, making it an ideal choice for our upcoming hair serum.

1. Natural, Skin-Friendly Emollient

Cetiol CC is an emollient of natural origin. It is produced from the fatty acids of palm and coconut oils, two renewable resources. Unlike many synthetic emollients, it is completely biodegradable and has a low potential for skin irritation. It is therefore safe for the consumer and environmentally friendly.

2. Light and Quickly Absorbed

One of Cetiol CC's main benefits is its non-greasy, quickly absorbed texture. This light emollient spreads quickly and evenly over the skin and hair without leaving a sticky or heavy feel. This is essential in a hair serum, where the aim is to condition and soften the hair without weighing it down.

3. Improves the Distribution of Other Ingredients

Cetiol CC not only improves the product's own texture and feel, but also improves the distribution and absorption of other ingredients in the formulation. This means the nourishing oils, vitamins and botanical extracts in our hair serum will spread more evenly and effectively, maximising their benefits for the user's hair.

4. Formulation Versatility

Cetiol CC is compatible with a wide range of ingredients, from oils and botanical extracts to vitamins and proteins. This gives us considerable flexibility to create formulations that meet our customers' specific needs and expectations. Its stability at different pH levels and temperatures also makes it a reliable choice for various products.

5. Approved by Cosmetic Certification Standards

Cetiol CC is COSMOS-approved and suitable for natural and organic cosmetic formulations. This approval supports our promise to offer consumers products that are natural, safe and high-quality.

In summary, Cetiol CC offers a
