Can liquid Carbon Dioxide be used as a solvent for lifeforms?

So, i'm just searching around in spaceengine and got the idea of worldbuilding based on one of the planets that exists in the simulation (not quite worldbuilding in a complete sense, but speculating and "building" life on that planet). Now, I've "worldbuilded" many times using spaceengine before, often using hours researching information and finding the scientifically realistic planet for building ecosystems and even civilizations on, but this time is different, I want to build ecosystems based on a planet like Titan, where water-ice is essentially rock and there are life as we don't know it living in the oceans, but so far, I've only found planets with liquid CO₂ as oceans, so may I ask, is it scientifically realistic that some lifeforms use liquid CO₂ as solvent and what might the chemical composition of that type of lifeform be?
