Diisopropyl Sebacate

Diisopropyl Sebacate is a lightweight synthetic emollient ester used to improve the texture and spreadability of skincare and cosmetic products. It helps soften the skin while providing a smooth, non-greasy feel, making formulations easier to apply and absorb. It is also commonly used as a solvent for oil-soluble ingredients, including UV filters in sunscreens, and contributes to the stability and sensory feel of the finished product. It is frequently found in sunscreens, moisturisers, serums, and colour cosmetics.
