Butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate is a cosmetic ingredient derived from coconut oil. It is a clear and odorless liquid that helps to enhance the texture and hydration of the skin. It is commonly used as an emollient and a moisturizing agent in skincare products. Butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate is also used in hair care products, cosmetics, and sunscreen.

Butylene glycol is considered to be largely safe for use as a topical skin care ingredient. While it’s a type of alcohol, it doesn’t typically irritate or dry out skin. Can I have a butylene glycol allergy? It’s possible to have an allergy to nearly any ingredient, and butylene glycol is no different. There’s at least one report of an allergy to butylene glycol in the medical literature. But an allergic reaction caused by butylene glycol is uncommon.

It is soluble in ethanol, diethyl ether, n-hexane, fatty oils, and is virtually insoluble in water. It is free of any stabilizers. Butylene glycol is similar to another chemical compound called propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is added to food products, cosmetics, and even de-icing agents, like antifreeze. All glycols are a type of alcohol, and butylene and propylene glycol have a similar molecular shape. Propylene glycol isn’t used in the same way as butylene glycol. It’s more popular as an emulsifier, anti-caking agent, and texturizer in your food. However, like butylene glycol, propylene glycol is considered mostly safe when ingested in small amounts or when included in skin care products. Coco-Caprylate/Caprate is a medium spreading emollient used in modern cosmetic applications. Butylene glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate is a suitable alternative to Dimethicone and Cyclopentasiloxane. It is a fast-spreading emollient that helps spread the emulsion homogeneously on the skin to evenly distribute active ingredients.
