DIMETHYL CAPRAMIDE.

Insufficient Data CAS 14433-76-2 / EMULSION STABILISING, SOLVENT

Dimethyl Capramide functions as a versatile solvent, enhancing the dissolution of key ingredients like sunscreen actives. It also serves as an SPF booster and an emulsion stabilizer, contributing to product efficacy and structural integrity.

Summary

Emulsion Stabilising Solvent SPF Booster

Science

Mechanism of Action

This C10 amide acts as a solvent by facilitating the easy dissolution of other compounds, particularly within sunscreen formulations, and notably boosts SPF. Its amphiphilic structure, possessing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, allows it to increase product polarity and stabilize emulsions, improving resistance to temperature fluctuations like freeze-thaw cycles.
