  Dicaprylyl Ether to Give Emollient Blend a “Drier” Skin Feel?

  Posted by spadirect on December 11, 2018 at 1:55 am

  What is your impression of using Dicaprylyl Ether (brand name CETIOL® OE by BASF®) as an added ingredient to an emollient blend for the purpose of giving the skin care product a lighter and drier skin feel?

  Thanks!

  That material is promoted as yet another offset to low MW dimethicone, for those who cannot stomach silicones as emollients. Try a branched alkyl ester instead. Save some money too.

  @chemicalmatt
  Please recommend some branches of alkyl ester if you used
