Isododecane Trimethylsiloxysilicate

Isododecane Trimethylsiloxysilicate is a combination of Isododecane, a hydrocarbon solvent, and
Trimethylsiloxysilicate, a type of silicone. This cosmetic ingredient is commonly used in makeup and
skincare formulations. Isododecane acts as a solvent, helping to dissolve other ingredients, while
Trimethylsiloxysilicate functions as a binder and film-former.
Together, they are often found in long-wearing makeup products like foundations, eyeliners, or lip
products. This combination provides a lightweight and smooth texture upon application, helps improve
product adherence, and contributes to a long-lasting, transfer-resistant finish. The use of Isododecane
Trimethylsiloxysilicate in cosmetics is valued for its ability to create products with enhanced durability
and a desirable cosmetic feel.

Benefits: It seals water in skin, creates a film on skin to protect from environmental damage, provides a
smooth texture to the formulation, retains moisture onto skin, deeply hydrates skin and improves
delivery of actives.
