DIBUTYL ADIPATE

Obtaining:  

It is an ester obtained by esterification of adipic acid with butanol, resulting in a very stable oily liquid with low viscosity. In cosmetics, it is used as a ""light oil"" in formulations due to its excellent sensory properties and compatibility with many systems.

Benefits:  

It acts as an emollient and sensory agent: it provides a soft, silky, and highly gliding feel, improves spreadability, and helps reduce the sticky sensation of some formulas, leaving a drier and more elegant finish. It is commonly found in sun care and body products because it can enhance application and the ""after-feel,"" and generally helps the formula feel more cosmetic and comfortable on the skin."
