Description | Dicaprylate is an ester that is derived from caprylic acid, a saturated medium-chain fatty acid found in coconut oil and palm kernel oil.

It can be found in a wide range of products such as lotions, moisturizers, sunscreens, lipsticks, and hair care products. |

It can serve as a carrier oil for other active ingredients in topical products, allowing for better absorption into the skin. 3. Dicaprylate is also used in some lubricants and greases due to its ability to reduce friction. 4. It has antimicrobial properties, making it useful as a preservative in some cosmetic and personal care products. 5. Dicaprylate may also be used in some food applications as an emulsifier or stabilizer. |
