A plant-derived hydrocarbon used as a light, dry-feeling emollient and silicone alternative.
What it does
C15-19 Alkane is a light plant-derived hydrocarbon (often from sugarcane). It spreads easily and leaves a dry, non-greasy, silky feel, so it is used as an emollient and a plant-based alternative to light silicones. It is a texture ingredient rather than a skin active.
