TRIDECYL NEOPENTANOATE

Description

TRIDECYL NEOPENTANOATE is a synthetic ester widely used in cosmetic and skincare formulations. This clear, colorless liquid functions primarily as an emollient and skin conditioning agent. Its molecular structure consists of a tridecyl alcohol combined with neopentanoic acid, resulting in a lightweight, non-greasy texture that spreads easily on the skin.

The ingredient exhibits excellent stability and compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients. It possesses a low comedogenicity rating, making it suitable for use in products designed for acne-prone skin. TRIDECYL NEOPENTANOATE's emollient properties help to soften and smooth the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving overall skin texture.

In skincare formulations, it aids in creating a protective barrier on the skin's surface, helping to prevent moisture loss and maintain hydration. The ingredient also enhances the spreadability of products, improving their application and feel on the skin. TRIDECYL NEOPENTANOATE is commonly found in moisturizers, sunscreens, lipsticks, and other cosmetic products where a smooth, silky texture is desired. Its low irritation potential makes it suitable for use in products formulated for sensitive skin types.
