Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate Supplier in Malaysia
Butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate supplier for personal-care and cosmetic ingredient buyers in Malaysia. This is the emollient ester of butylene glycol with caprylic and capric acids, a clear low-viscosity liquid used for skin conditioning. Buyers reach for it when a formulation needs a lightweight, fast-spreading oil rather than a heavy botanical or mineral oil.
Commercial material is offered as cosmetic grades that differ mainly on colour, odour, acid value and purity, with a lightweight spreading grade and a refined high-purity grade for fragrance-sensitive leave-on products. Pack format is confirmed with the quotation rather than fixed on this page.
Typical applications cover creams, lotions, serums, sunscreens, makeup bases and hair-care products, where the ester contributes a smooth non-greasy skin feel. It is distinct from butylene glycol itself and from caprylic-capric triglyceride, so the exact ingredient named on the formulation sheet is what should be ordered.
Send the required grade, any specification limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Common questions about butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate
What is butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate used for?
It is a low-viscosity emollient ester used for skin conditioning in creams, lotions, serums, sunscreens, makeup and hair-care products. Buyers choose it for a lightweight, fast-spreading feel without the greasiness of heavier oils.
What does the dicaprylate/dicaprate part of the name mean?
The ester is made from butylene glycol combined with caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) fatty acids. The slash in the name reflects that blend of the two acids, which is normal for this cosmetic ingredient.
Is butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate the same as butylene glycol?
No. Butylene glycol is the simple diol solvent, while butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate is the fatty acid ester of it and a different ingredient used as an emollient. Write the one on your formulation sheet by name.
Which forms can be supplied?
The product is a liquid ester and is supplied on the basis of the required grade, with colour, odour and purity confirmed against the specification. Preferred pack format is listed in the enquiry and confirmed with the quote.
How should I request a butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate price in Malaysia?
Provide the grade, any specification limits, the quantity, delivery location and preferred packing. The price is issued on enquiry with a stated validity period rather than as a fixed published figure.
