C9-12 ALKANE

About this ingredient

C9-12 Alkane is a hydrocarbon mixture composed of straight and branched chain alkanes with 9 to 12 carbon atoms. It functions as an emollient and skin conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations, providing a lightweight, non-greasy feel while improving skin softness and spreadability. It is commonly used in sunscreens, moisturizers, and other personal care products as a volatile or semi-volatile carrier that evaporates or absorbs into the skin.
