hydrocarbon derived from petroleum and is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products

C13-14 Isoparaffin is a high-purity, synthetic hydrocarbon solvent specifically designed for cosmetic and personal care applications. This medium-volatility isoparaffin provides excellent spreading properties and a non-greasy, silky feel.

C13-14 Isoparaffin offers superior solvency for a wide range of cosmetic ingredients while maintaining excellent skin compatibility. Its controlled evaporation rate makes it ideal for long-wear formulations that require gradual film formation. Unlike traditional mineral oils, this isoparaffin provides a lighter, more elegant sensory profile without compromising performance.

This grade meets the highest purity standards for cosmetic applications, with exceptionally low odor and color. It serves as an excellent alternative to cyclic silicones, providing similar spreading and volatility characteristics with improved formulation compatibility.

Usage: Foundations, concealers, long-wear makeup, sunscreens, antiperspirants, hair styling products, and anhydrous skincare formulations

How to mix:

- Add to oil phase at any temperature below 80°C

- Compatible with all common cosmetic oils and waxes
