Diheptyl Succinate

Diheptyl succinate is an ester derived from castor oil and succinic acid, often used as a natural alternative to silicone in cosmetic products. It provides a smooth, non-greasy feel to the skin and hair, helping to condition and improve spreadability. It also functions as a solvent for other ingredients.
