ISO HEXA DECANE

ISO HEXA DECANE About

Isohexadecane is a lightweight, highly refined hydrocarbon emollient widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It is a clear, colorless liquid with excellent spreading properties and a dry, silky skin feel. Isohexadecane provides smooth application and helps reduce the greasy or heavy sensation associated with traditional oils and emollients. It acts as an effective emollient and texture enhancer, leaving the skin soft, smooth, and velvety after application. It is particularly useful in lightweight skincare and color cosmetic formulations where a fast-spreading, non-oily sensory profile is desired. Isohexadecane can also improve the distribution of pigments and other oil-soluble ingredients, making it valuable in foundations, concealers, and other makeup products. It is compatible with many esters, oils, waxes, silicones, and other cosmetic ingredients. The ingredient can contribute to improved water resistance and elegant skin feel in sunscreen and skincare formulations. It is commonly used in facial serums, moisturizers, sunscreens, foundations, primers, makeup products, creams, lotions, and hair care products. Due to its excellent slip, low greasiness, and lightweight after-feel, Isohexadecane is especially suitable for modern formulations designed to provide a dry-touch and silky finish.
