About this ingredient

Undecane is a straight-chain alkane hydrocarbon (C11H24) used as a volatile solvent and carrier in cosmetic formulations. It evaporates quickly, helping to deliver active ingredients and improve the spreading properties and sensory feel of products. It provides a lightweight, non-greasy texture in sunscreens and skincare formulations.
