Applications

1. Cosmetics and Personal Care

Isododecane丨CAS 31807-55-3 is widely used in cosmetics, particularly in oil-free formulations, due to its fast-drying and non-greasy feel. Common products include:

Long-wear foundations and concealers

Lipsticks and lip stains

Mascaras and eyeliners

Makeup removers

Hair styling products

2. Solvent and Carrier Agent

Acts as a non-polar solvent for active ingredients, pigments, and polymers.

Ideal for dissolving film formers, contributing to flexible and transfer-resistant makeup.

3. Formulation Enhancer

Improves spreadability, light texture, and skin feel.

Enhances product stability and water-resistance, especially in sunscreens and waterproof cosmetics.

4. Industrial Applications

Sometimes used in coatings, adhesives, and lubricants as a volatile hydrocarbon diluent.

Plays a role in aerosol formulations where quick evaporation is required without leaving residue.


 

Benefits

1. Fast-Drying and Lightweight

Rapid evaporation from skin or hair without leaving stickiness or heaviness.

Ideal for products that require a quick-set or long-lasting effect.

2. Non-Greasy Finish

Leaves a soft, silky feel, making it suitable for oil-free formulations or products aimed at oily or acne-prone skin.

3. Improves Wear and Transfer Resistance

Often included in long-wear and waterproof makeup due to its ability to lock in film formers and pigments.

4. Low Irritation Potential

Generally well-tolerated by skin, including sensitive skin types.

Not classified as a skin sensitizer or common allergen.

5. Volatile but Stable

Offers low viscosity and high volatility, enhancing the sensory profile without compromising formulation stability.


 

Summary

Isododecane丨CAS 31807-55-3 is a highly versatile branched hydrocarbon used extensively in the cosmetic and personal care industries. Its light, fast-drying nature and non-greasy finish make it essential for long-wear, waterproof, and oil-free formulations. It enhances performance and sensory appeal, making it a key ingredient in many modern beauty products.
