DIPROPYL CARBONATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 623-96-1 / SKIN CONDITIONING

Dipropyl Carbonate is a cosmetic ingredient primarily recognized for its skin conditioning properties. It functions as an emollient, promoting a smoother skin surface and aiding in moisture retention, while also acting as a solvent to facilitate optimal ingredient dispersion within formulations.

Summary

Skin conditioning Solvent Emollient

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates as a skin conditioning agent, supporting the skin's overall health and appearance. Its emollient action involves creating a protective film on the skin, which helps to soften and smooth the surface, thereby reducing transepidermal water loss. Additionally, as a solvent, Dipropyl Carbonate assists in dissolving and evenly distributing other active components within a formulation, enhancing their consistent delivery and potential efficacy across the skin.

Stability

Dipropyl Carbonate exhibits instability when exposed to moist air or water, potentially undergoing decomposition. For optimal stability, it should be stored in a tightly sealed container, shielded from heat and open flames, in a cool, dry environment.

Conflicts

  • strong oxidizing agents
  • strong bases
  • moist air or water (may decompose)

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe with restrictions
Sensitization risk Moderate

The CIR Expert Panel deemed Dipropyl Carbonate safe for cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating. However, as of 2016, there was no reported current cosmetic use data via FDA's VCRP. No specific SCCS opinion has been identified, and it is not listed as an FDA direct or indirect food additive. INCIDecoder suggests a medium irritancy potential.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While recognized for its skin conditioning, emollient, and solvent properties, Dipropyl Carbonate's medium irritancy potential and lack of current cosmetic use data warrant further investigation before widespread recommendation.
