Diethylhexyl Carbonate
What Diethylhexyl Carbonate is & what it does
A light, silky emollient that improves spread and dissolves oil-soluble filters for an even film. It gives a soft, dry afterfeel.
What does Diethylhexyl Carbonate do in skincare?
Diethylhexyl Carbonate is commonly used as a lightweight emollient and solvent. It gives products a silky, dry, non-greasy skin feel and helps spread other ingredients evenly, which is why it appears often in sunscreens and facial moisturizers.
Is Diethylhexyl Carbonate comedogenic, does it clog pores?
Diethylhexyl Carbonate is generally considered a light, fast-spreading emollient and is widely used in facial products including those marketed for oily skin. As with any emollient, individual reactions vary, so people very prone to breakouts may prefer to patch test.
Is Diethylhexyl Carbonate natural or synthetic?
Diethylhexyl Carbonate is a synthetic ingredient, a carbonate ester typically produced from a 2-ethylhexanol source. It is not extracted directly from a plant or animal.
