Tridecane

Tridecane · C13-14 Isoparaffin · C9-12 AlkaneBarrier

A light hydrocarbon emollient that gives slip and spread, then leaves a dry finish.

What it does

Tridecane and related alkanes such as C13-14 isoparaffin and C9-12 alkane are light hydrocarbon emollients. They give a formula easy slip and spread and dry down to a light, non-greasy finish, often replacing volatile silicones. They are texture-and-feel ingredients rather than skin actives.
