Description
C13-14 Isoparaffin is a mixture of liquid isoparaffinic hydrocarbons used in cosmetics as a texturizer, solvent, and emollient. Thanks to its light, non-greasy texture, this component improves the distribution of the product on the skin, providing it with smoothness and comfort during use. It is often found in creams, serums, makeup, and hair care products, where it ensures the stability of emulsions, prevents separation, and extends the shelf life of the product. C13-14 Isoparaffin does not clog pores, quickly evaporates from the surface of the skin, leaving no stickiness or greasy shine. It is also used in waterproof formulas to provide long-lasting makeup or skincare.
