Description - Isododecane is a high-purity, clear, colorless, and odorless hydrocarbon fluid prized for its exceptional volatility, feather-light texture, and non-greasy finish. Functioning as both an emollient and a solvent, it lends a smooth, silky glide to skincare, haircare, and cosmetic formulations while leaving no residue behind. Its fast-evaporating nature makes it a preferred choice in long-wear, transfer-resistant makeup and high-performance haircare products. With excellent compatibility across silicones and oil-based systems, Isododecane brings a luxurious, weightless touch to every application.
