Chemical
Squalane

100% saturated hydrocarbon obtained by hydrogenating plant squalene.

Properties

Completely stable against oxidation, highly biocompatible emollient mimicking natural sebum.

Chemical
C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate (ERCAREL AB / Finsolv TN)

Lightweight benzoic acid ester of selected C12-C15 fatty alcohols.

Properties

Outstanding solvent and dispersant for chemical sunscreens and physical pigment powders.

Chemical
Coco-Caprylate (Cetiol C5)

100% plant-derived fast-spreading light emollient ester.

Properties

Ideal natural alternative to volatile cyclomethicones, providing immediate dry-glide touch.

Chemical
Dicaprylyl Carbonate (Cetiol CC)

Dry, fast-spreading emollient ester synthesized from vegetable sources.

Properties

Leaves an elegant velvety dry feel and enhances pigment spreading in suncare and foundations.

Chemical
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (GTCC / Imex MCT)

Medium-chain triglyceride ester derived from coconut or palm oil.

Properties

Ultra-clean, non-greasy emollient with exceptional oxidation stability and silky spreadability.

Chemical
Isononyl Isononanoate

Synthetic branched chain ester with an exceptionally light, dry skin feel.

Properties

Imparts a silky, powder-like afterfeel without heaviness, ideal for color cosmetics and serums.

Chemical
Coco-Caprylate/Caprate (ERCAREL CAP)

Plant-derived medium-spreading ester from coconut alcohol and caprylic/capric acids.

Properties

Natural silicone alternative providing smooth glide and instant skin softness.

Chemical
Cetiol Ultimate (Undecane & Tridecane)

100% renewable, readily biodegradable ultra-volatile hydrocarbon emollient.

Properties

Direct sustainable alternative to cyclomethicone with quick dry-down and powdery finish.

Oils

Lipid matrices, non-polar carriers, and emollient esters for oil-phase design.

Standardized triglycerides, plant-derived lipids, synthetic esters, and silicones characterized by spreading velocity, refractive index, and lipid barrier support.
