About

C9-11 Isoparaffin is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

C9-11 Isoparaffin is a mixture of branched C9 to C11 alkanes used as an emollient and solvent in cosmetic and personal care products. Under EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, this substance is not subject to specific restrictions. Its moderate chain length provides a balance between volatility and skin feel, making it versatile for various formulation types. Available toxicological data do not indicate significant skin sensitization or irritation concerns at typical use levels.
