Neossance® Hemisqualane
INCI Name:
C13-15 Alkane
- This incredibly versatile emollient is sustainably sourced from sugarcane. It is non-volatile with a light and dry feel and is the perfect alternative for petroleum-based hydrocarbons like Isohexadecane and low molecular weight silicone ingredients including cyclomethicone.
- SKINCARE: it creates elegant and light textures with a non-tacky, non-greasy and silky finish.
- SUNCARE: it can mitigate the greasy feel of organic filters.
- MAKE-UP: it facilitates a smooth and even application for lipsticks and foundations.
- CLEANSING: it demonstrates excellent cleansing properties, superior to Isohexadecane, in makeup removal, especially for extra-long wearing and waterproof formulations.
- HAIRCARE: ideal ingredient for conditioners and leave-on haircare applications due to its high spreadability and soft after-feel.
