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

C8-9 Isoparaffin is an ultra-light, fast-evaporating synthetic hydrocarbon solvent designed for high-performance cosmetic applications. This low molecular weight isoparaffin provides exceptional volatility and leaves virtually no residue on the skin.

With its rapid evaporation rate, C8-9 Isoparaffin is ideal for quick-drying formulations and products requiring immediate set. It offers excellent degreasing properties and helps reduce the tackiness of heavier ingredients while maintaining a clean, fresh feel. This grade provides superior purity with minimal odor, making it suitable for facial and sensitive area applications.

C8-9 Isoparaffin serves as an excellent carrier for active ingredients, ensuring even distribution before evaporating completely. Its low surface tension enables superior spreading and penetration enhancement for other cosmetic ingredients.

Usage: Quick-dry nail products, setting sprays, dry shampoos, antiperspirant sprays, makeup fixers, and volatile carrier systems

How to mix:

- Add at room temperature to avoid rapid evaporation during processing

- Mix with other volatile components first before adding to main formula

- Keep container closed when not in use to prevent evaporation loss

Usage rate: 10-60% (typically 20-40% in spray applications)

Product Description: Clear, colorless, highly volatile liquid with minimal odor

Solubility: Miscible with oils, volatile silicones, and other hydrocarbons; insoluble in water

Storage: Store in tightly sealed container in cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Shelf life: 3 years
