  • Characteristics of Propylheptyl Caprylate Known as the “Happy” Emollient?

    Posted by spadirect on December 14, 2018 at 8:10 pm

    Propylheptyl Caprylate (brand name CETIOL® SENSOFT by BASF®) is marketed as the “happy” emollient because of its unique sensory characteristics of “multi-dimensional softness” (BASF®). 

    What is your impression of using Propylheptyl Caprylate as an added ingredient to an emollient blend? 

    What are Propylheptyl Caprylate’s performance and skin feel characteristics in your experience?

    Thanks!

    I have this in stock and have tried it.
    “Multi-dimensional softness” - ha! Marketing speak.
    It’s nice … but so are many, many, other compounds.
    Try it for yourself.
