C15-19 Alkane

Description

C15-19 Alkanes are light liquid hydrocarbons (alkanes) that are primarily obtained from plant sources (such as sugar cane) or through synthetic means. They are used as an alternative to silicones, as they provide similar slip, softness, and smoothness, but do not create an occlusive film and have a better biodegradability profile. This ingredient is often found in creams, serums, hair products, and sun protection cosmetics, providing a pleasant, non-sticky texture, improving product distribution, and creating a light protective barrier without clogging pores.
