Dicaprylyl ether
What is Dicaprylyl ether?
Dicaprylyl ether is a skin conditioning agent (emollient) derived from caprylic acid, a fatty acid found in coconut and palm kernel oils.
What does it do?
Emollients are widely used in personal care products to make the skin soft and supple and provide a silky skin feel. The dicaprylyl ether in our antiperspirants and natural strength deodorants helps with a smooth dry feeling application.
How is it made?
Our Stewardship Model guides us to select ingredients which have been processed in a manner that supports our philosophy of human and environmental health.

Dicaprylyl ether is derived from coconut and/or palm kernel oil. The fatty acids from the oils are esterified and then distilled to separate the capryl alcohol.  Etherification (dehydration) is then done to the capryl alcohol to form dicaprylyl ether and water.
What are the alternatives?
The main alternatives used in antiperspirant products are silicones (liquid siloxanes and particularly volatile polyorganosiloxanes, e.g. cyclopentaxiloxane, cyclohexasiloxane, cyclomethicones, dimethicone and derivatives). We do not use silicones in any of our products due to the synthetic nature of the compounds and environmental and safety concerns. There are a number of other emollients used in antiperspirants, like C12 15 alkyl benzoate, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-derivatives and some esters. We cannot use most of these ingredients because they would not comply with our Stewardship Model.
Is this the right option for me?
The use of dicaprylyl ether in antiperspirants and deodorants is considered to be safe.

Dicaprylyl Ether
A clear, colorless and odorless oily liquid that works as a fast-spreading emollient with a dry skin feel. 

Dicaprylyl ether

A skin conditioner, emollient and solvent that's primarily used to create a smooth and soft appearance for the skin. Unlike most emollients, it provides a dry and non-greasy feel to the skin, which makes it an excellent choice for powder formulations like deodorant. It's also known for its fast spreading capabilities, and is thus used to help facilitate the spreadability of many slow spreading ingredients. It can be found in cosmetic products such as facial moisturizer/lotion, sunscreen, doedorant, hair dye, foundation, anti-aging treatment, eye cream, self tanner and shampoo.

 DICAPRYLYL ETHER

A combination of oils of plant origin that are excellent emollients. They coat hair both to improve elasticity and torsion capacity and to enable molecules of low molecular weight (such as wheat proteins) to penetrate into the cortex, which supports the hair. It protects and repairs damaged hair and makes dry hair soft and velvety.

Chemical Properties
colourless liquid
Uses
dicaprylyl ether is a skin-conditioning agent.
General Description
Liquid.
Air & Water Reactions
Ethers tend to form unstable peroxides when exposed to oxygen. Ethyl, isobutyl, ethyl tert-butyl, and ethyl tert-pentyl ether are particularly hazardous in this respect. Ether peroxides can sometimes be observed as clear crystals deposited on containers or along the surface of the liquid.
Reactivity Profile
Dicaprylyl ether, an ether, can act as a base. They form salts with strong acids and addition complexes with Lewis acids. The complex between diethyl ether and boron trifluoride is an example. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert.
