Product Highlights

• Jarcane™ 22 is very stable and completely soluble in cosmetic oils and solvents. It is fast absorbing with a light skin feel and leaves skin normal to the touch after application. These properties help modify the resulting texture of creams and lotions to be less oily and greasy when applied.
• Jarcane™ 22 improves the coverage, consistency and pigment wetting in cosmetics as well as enhancing color stability. This product is also compatible with silicones, UV filters, and lipophilic systems. 
• When used in combination with Jarcane™ 22 (Dodecane), these products can serve as secondary conditioning agents in silicone-free haircare formulations. It is also an alternative choice when looking for non-polar wax additives based on renewable resources for environmentally-friendly or natural formulation concepts.
