C13-15 ALKANE

C13-15 Alkane is a sustainably produced, ultra-light emollient designed for modern cosmetic formulations. Its exceptional spreadability and elegant sensory profile make it an excellent choice for natural and high-performance personal care products. It delivers a smooth, silky skin feel without leaving a greasy or sticky residue. This multifunctional ingredient helps improve hair manageability by reducing frizz while providing protection, repair, hydration, and long-lasting moisturisation. It also imparts a soft, luxurious finish to both skin and hair. C13-15 Alkane can be used as an effective substitute for cyclopentasiloxane (D5), other silicone fluids, and petroleum-derived paraffins, allowing formulators to achieve comparable sensory performance with a renewable alternative. Produced through white biotechnology, it is manufactured via the fermentation of sustainably sourced sugarcane, making it a renewable and environmentally conscious ingredient. Suitable for a wide range of applications, including skincare, haircare, sun care, and colour cosmetics, C13-15 Alkane is vegan suitable.
