Tridecyl Neopentanoate

Tridecyl NeopentanoateBarrier

A light, stable ester emollient used to soften skin and give a smooth, non-greasy slip.

What it does

Tridecyl Neopentanoate is a branched synthetic ester. Its structure makes it a light, oxidation-resistant emollient oil that spreads easily and leaves a smooth, non-greasy feel, so it is used as an emollient and pigment carrier. It is an emollient ingredient rather than a skin active.
