About

C9-14 Isoparaffin is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

C9-14 Isoparaffin is a branched-chain hydrocarbon fraction comprising C9 to C14 alkanes, widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations as a non-greasy emollient. It is not subject to restrictions under EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and is considered safe in cosmetic applications when purity standards are met. Its petroleum origin requires appropriate refining to ensure the absence of problematic impurities such as aromatic compounds or polyaromatic hydrocarbons.
