Dipentaerythrityl hexacaprylate/hexacaparate is a mixture of different fatty acid derivatives (caprylic acid/caproic acid) which is used in cosmetic formulations. The mixture has emulsifying effects (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together) and skin smoothing properties.
Note(s)This section has been translated automatically.
Caprylates are esters/salts of caprylic acid, caprates are esters/salts of caproic acid.
