About this ingredient

Tridecane is a saturated hydrocarbon (C13 alkane) derived from petroleum or synthetic sources. It functions as a volatile solvent and skin conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations, helping to dissolve other ingredients and provide a light, non-greasy feel. It evaporates quickly from the skin surface.
