Undecane (Undecane)

A lightweight saturated hydrocarbon used in cosmetic formulations as a volatile emollient, solvent and texture enhancer, valued for its dry, silky and fast-absorbing skin feel. Its quick-evaporating character helps improve product spreadability, supports the even distribution of lipophilic ingredients and leaves a light finish without a greasy or sticky film. It is especially useful in fluid creams, serums, makeup products, sunscreens, lotions, dry oils and modern non-greasy textures, where it reduces heaviness and helps the formula achieve a smoother, fresher and more comfortable cosmetic effect.
