About this ingredient

C13-14 Isoalkane is a lightweight hydrocarbon solvent and emollient derived from petroleum refining. It functions as a volatile carrier that evaporates quickly from the skin, helping to dissolve and deliver other cosmetic actives while providing a dry, non-greasy feel. It is commonly used in sunscreens, antiperspirants, and color cosmetics.
