Description
Isododecane is a hydrocarbon ingredient known for its lightweight and fast-drying properties, commonly used as a solvent or carrier in cosmetic formulations. Dimethicone Crosspolymer 3 is a silicone-based polymer that contributes to the smooth, silky texture of skincare and cosmetic products. It helps to blur imperfections and create a soft-focus effect on the skin, providing a smoother appearance.
Use
This combination is often used in a variety of skincare and cosmetic products, including primers, foundations, serums, and moisturizers. Isododecane provides a lightweight base, allowing other ingredients to spread evenly over the skin, while Dimethicone Crosspolymer 3 helps to improve the texture and feel of the product. It creates a smooth, velvety finish and helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and pores.
Applications
Skincare and cosmetic products containing Isododecane and Dimethicone Crosspolymer 3 are typically applied to clean, dry skin as part of a daily skincare or makeup routine. Primers are applied before foundation to create a smooth canvas for makeup application, while serums and moisturizers are used to hydrate and nourish the skin. These products can be applied with fingertips or a makeup brush, blending evenly over the skin until fully absorbed.
