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

C10-11 Isoparaffin is a light, fast-evaporating synthetic hydrocarbon solvent that bridges the gap between ultra-volatile and medium-volatility carriers. This cosmetic-grade isoparaffin offers an optimal balance of quick drying and controlled evaporation.

Specifically engineered for modern cosmetic formulations, C10-11 Isoparaffin provides excellent solvency for pigments and actives while maintaining a light, non-greasy feel. Its intermediate volatility makes it ideal for products requiring moderate dry-down time, allowing for proper film formation without extended waiting periods.

This grade exhibits exceptional purity and stability, with virtually no odor or color. It serves as an excellent replacement for traditional volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while meeting stringent cosmetic safety standards. The controlled evaporation profile ensures uniform product application and consistent performance.

Usage: Liquid foundations, BB/CC creams, serums, hair serums, deodorant roll-ons, quick-dry topcoats, and makeup setting products

How to mix:

- Can be added at temperatures up to 60°C without significant evaporation

- Blend with oil phase components before emulsification

- Compatible with all common cosmetic ingredients including silicones
