About
An antioxidant-style ester designed to be more stable and cosmetic-friendly than raw phenolic acids, though it is still a niche ingredient.
Dipivaloyl cyclohexylcaffeate is a modified caffeic-acid derivative made more lipophilic and formulation-friendly by esterification. That design can reduce some of the instability of simpler phenolics, but public ingredient-specific dermal safety data remain limited, so it merits a cautious mid-to-high score rather than a very high one.
