Description
Propylheptyl Caprylate is a light synthetic emollient that provides softness, silkiness, and a pleasant tactile texture to cosmetic products. It is often used in creams, lotions, sunscreens, makeup, and serums. This ingredient spreads well on the skin, without leaving a greasy shine or stickiness, making the product's texture smoother and more pleasant to the touch. It is particularly valued in the formula of sensory cosmetic products. In addition, Propylheptyl Caprylate helps to dissolve fat-soluble active ingredients (such as SPF filters or vitamin E), making it an important carrier in sunscreen and anti-aging formulas.
