C13-15 Alkane

Description

C13-15 Alkane is a light, harmless hydrocarbon (alkane) used as an emollient and solvent in cosmetic formulas. It provides a silky, light texture that quickly absorbs into the skin without leaving any greasiness or stickiness. Thanks to its properties, this component is often used as an alternative to silicones, especially in natural and "clean beauty" cosmetics. It improves product distribution, adds slip, facilitates application, and provides a pleasant feeling of softness. C13-15 Alkane is also suitable for use in sunscreens as a carrier for UV filters, without compromising their stability. In decorative cosmetics, it contributes to longevity and a silky finish.
