Isododecane

Isododecane (Isododecane) is a versatile hydrocarbon widely utilized in skincare formulations for its exceptional emollient properties and ability to act as a solvent. This colorless liquid enhances the texture of products by providing a lightweight feel, making it ideal for both oils and creams. Although it is water-insoluble, Isododecane blends seamlessly with silicones, hydrocarbons, isoparaffin, and mineral spirits, offering formulators unique flexibility. Its rapid evaporation rate also contributes to a non-greasy finish, making it a popular choice for products aimed at achieving a smooth, silky application.
