Basic Info
Isododecane (CAS 62199-62-6 / 13475-82-6): High-Purity Volatile Hydrocarbon Carrier for Advanced Cosmetics & Specialty Formulations
Isododecane is a branched-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon characterized by its low viscosity, light feel, and controlled evaporation rate. As a highly stable and clear liquid, it serves as a primary solvent, diluent, and emollient in personal care formulations, color cosmetics, and specialized industrial applications.
Due to its unique volatility profile, Isododecane allows smooth spreading during application and subsequently evaporates without leaving a greasy, heavy, or tacky residue. It exhibits excellent compatibility with film-forming resins, silicones, and hydrophobic pigments, making it a crucial ingredient in long-wearing, water-resistant liquid cosmetics.

To support global brand owners, contract manufacturers (CMOs), and regulatory submissions, our Isododecane is produced under verified quality and environmental standards:
ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015: Certified quality management and environmental protection protocols across all synthesis and packaging operations.
REACH Registration: Fully registered for seamless compliant import and supply across European Union markets.
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP): Processed and handled in compliance with cosmetic raw material hygiene and purity protocols.
Technical & Regulatory Documentation: Complete documentation packages available, including GHS-compliant Safety Data Sheets (SDS), Certificates of Analysis (COA) per batch, Halal Statements, Vegan Statements, and Heavy Metal Compliance Reports.
Product Packaging
Every batch of Isododecane undergoes rigorous multi-step testing in our quality control laboratory before shipment release to ensure consistency across formulation trials and large-scale manufacturing.
Purity & Isomer Distribution Analysis (GC-FID): Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detection confirms active hydrocarbon purity (≥ 99.0%) and verifies the absence of aromatic impurities.
Distillation Range & Evaporation Rate Test: Monitored to confirm precise volatile dynamics, ensuring consistent dry-down time in finished cosmetic formulations.
Odor & Color Evaluation: Spectrophotometric color testing (Saybolt / APHA) and organoleptic panel screening ensure the raw material remains clear and low-odor, preventing interference with delicate fragrances or pigments.
Non-Volatile Matter / Residue Analysis: Evaporation residue testing guarantees the material leaves no unexpected oil residue upon complete dry-off.
Peroxide Value & Moisture Content (Karl Fischer): Water content and peroxide development are measured to ensure oxidative stability during long-term storage.
Isododecane is widely integrated across color cosmetics, skincare, and personal care segments:
Waterproof & Long-Wear Color Cosmetics: Functions as a volatile solvent in liquid lipsticks, waterproof mascaras, transfer-proof foundations, and cream eye shadows. It aids uniform pigment deposition and fast setting times.
Hair Care & Anti-Frizz Treatments: Used in lightweight dry oils, serum mist formulations, and hair leave-in treatments. It improves product slip and shine without weighing hair strands down.
Sun Care & Body Oils: Serves as a fast-spreading carrier that reduces the greasy feel of organic UV filters and plant-derived oils on the skin surface.
Industrial & Specialty Solvents: Acts as a specialized high-purity hydrocarbon diluent for industrial coatings, high-end cleaning pastes, and fine chemical reactions requiring non-polar inert solvents.
Formulation & Handling Tips:
Recommended Usage Levels: 1.0% – 70.0% (depending on product type, from lightweight skin serums to volatile liquid lipstick bases).
Cold Processing Compatible: Can be added directly during cold-mix processing; minimize prolonged heating in open vessels to prevent premature evaporation.
FAQ
A: Unlike mineral oil, which is non-volatile and stays on the skin, Isododecane evaporates steadily after application, leaving film-formers and pigments intact for long-lasting wear. Compared to volatile silicones (like Cyclopentasiloxane / D5), Isododecane offers distinct solubility profiles with organic waxes, hydrocarbon resins, and pigments.
A: It delivers a silky, weightless skin feel with rapid spreading characteristics. Once evaporated, it leaves a dry-touch finish, effectively mitigating the heavy, sticky perception often associated with viscous cosmetic oils and hydrophobic waxes.
A: Standard packaging includes 150 kg iron drums, 800 kg IBC totes, or ISO tanks for large volume orders. When stored in original unopened containers in a dry, cool warehouse away from direct sunlight, the product maintains a retest shelf life of 24 months.
