Low-volatility hydrocarbon solvent with extended playtime for premium cosmetic formulations

C11-12 Isoparaffin™ is a premium-grade, low-volatility hydrocarbon solvent engineered for high-performance cosmetic formulations.

This heavier isoparaffin provides exceptional spreading properties with slower evaporation rate, allowing for extended playtime during application. Its superior purity and virtually odorless profile make it ideal for premium cosmetic products where sensory experience is paramount. C11-12 Isoparaffin offers excellent solvency for various cosmetic ingredients while maintaining formulation stability across a wide temperature range.

Compared to lighter isoparaffins, C11-12 provides longer-lasting film formation and enhanced moisturization properties. Its molecular weight distribution ensures optimal balance between spreadability and substantivity, making it particularly valuable in long-wear cosmetic formulations.
