FunctionEmollient

What it is — Dibutyl Adipate (INCI: Dibutyl Adipate) is a light ester emollient and solvent.

What it does — It is commonly used to soften and smooth the skin, spread other ingredients evenly and give a light, non-greasy finish.

Typical use — It appears in lotions, creams, sunscreens and makeup, where it improves texture and helps dissolve UV filters or pigments.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin types and often chosen where a light finish is wanted. Very dry skin may prefer richer emollients used alongside it.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
