C9-12 Alkane

C9-12 Alkane is a blend of alkanes, which are saturated hydrocarbons, typically derived from plant sources. It acts as a lightweight emollient and solvent, providing a dry, non-greasy feel to cosmetic products. This ingredient helps to dissolve other ingredients and improve product spreadability.
