What is it?

Undecane / Tridecane is a lightweight, plant-derived hydrocarbon commonly used as an emollient and contributes to the texture in cosmetic formulations. It is part of a group of naturally sourced alkanes that help create a smooth, silky feel on the skin without leaving a greasy residue. Undecane evaporates a little faster and provides an ultra-light, dry touch. Tridecane offers longer-lasting slip and helps maintain hydration and smoothness.

Information

Undecane / Tridecane is a lightweight, plant-derived hydrocarbon commonly used as an emollient and contributes to the texture in cosmetic formulations. It is part of a group of naturally sourced alkanes that help create a smooth, silky feel on the skin without leaving a greasy residue. Undecane evaporates a little faster and provides an ultra-light, dry touch. Tridecane offers longer-lasting slip and helps maintain hydration and smoothness.

Where does it come from?

Undecane / Tridecane is obtained from renewable plant sources such as coconut or castor oil through a process called hydrogenation or fermentation. This makes it a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based emollients and silicones.

What are the benefits?

SMOOTHING BIODEGRADABLE PROTECTIVE

What are the benefits?

  • Smoothing: Provides a smooth, non-greasy finish to creams and serums and contributes to the spreadability and absorption of products.
  • Biodegradable: Acts as a natural silicone alternative for a lightweight, silky texture.
  • Texture: Improves the sensory feel and performance of formulations.
  • Protective: Helps lock in moisture without clogging pores.

How is it used in our products?

Undecane / Tridecane is used in HT Serum Concealer from OLIVE ROSE. It is included as an emollient that contributes to the texture to improve the application and sensory profile of our cosmetic products. It delivers a soft, velvety finish, making products feel luxurious and easily absorbed, while also contributing to overall skin comfort and smoothness.
