Isododecane is a synthetic aliphatic hydrocarbon with a branched structure. It is a safe, non-irritating, and non-comedogenic cosmetic-grade solvent and emollient with low viscosity, good volatility, spreadability, and drying time.
Organic compounds
Organic compounds are an inherent part of skin care products. These ingredients are structurally similar to natural body compounds, making them efficient in many functions. For example, they easily penetrate the layers of skin, stimulate the synthesis of skin proteins, fight free radicals, and ''dissolve" dead skin cells. Thus, organic compounds visibly ameliorate skin wrinkling, sagging, and scaling.

Jordapon® SB II is a ready-to-use synthetic detergent base complex in the form of low-dusting flakes. It is a white to off-white, flake material with a slight water solubility.
Kathon CG is a 3:1 mixture of Methylchloroisothiazolinone (5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one; MCI) and Methylisothiazolinone (2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one; MI). This mixture of two isothiazoles is often used in cosmetics and industry as a preservative.
Kojic dipalmitate is a Kojic acid derivative widely used in skin brightening applications thanks to its high effectiveness and outstanding stability in formulations. Similarly to Kojic acid, it inhibits tyrosinase enzymatic activity blocking melanin pigment production.
Lauramide DEA is a clear liquid amide with a low odor. It is highly recommended for use in all types of shampoos, cleansers, bubble baths, and liquid cleanser formulations where quality, performance, extreme mildness, and maximum ease of handling are required.
Lauramine Oxide is an amine oxide surfactant. It is water soluble and supplied as a 30% active solution, which is a clear, light yellow liquid.
Laureth-6 Carboxylic Acid is an alcohol ether carboxylate, a multi-functional surfactant with the common attributes of mildness and hypochlorite stability. Its performance can be tailored as a function of pH.
Laureth-7 is an ethoxylated (average 7 mole) lauryl alcohol, a nonionic surfactant supplied as a 90% active aqueous solution. It is a clear liquid soluble in water.
Lauryl Betaine is an amphoteric surfactant that is hydrolytically stable, biodegradable, and colorless, with low odor.
Unwanted hair growth is a condition that affects millions of people (the medical term: hirsutism. It can occur in both men and women without discrimination and is caused by follicles that are overly sensitive to male hormones (called androgens).
Lecithin is a mix of phospholipids, a miracle serum that leaves your hair smooth and healthy. This structure-forming component helps repair dry hair. It infuses your hair with moisture and restores its natural barrier.
Levulinic acid is a penetration enhancer, emulsion stabilizer, and natural preservative derived from rice, corn starch, or sugarcane bagasse. It increases the lipid fluidity of the dermal barrier, helping other ingredients pass through and improving the entire effectiveness of the formula.
Linoleamide DEA is a clear liquid amide, highly recommended for use in all types of shampoos, cleansers, bubble baths, and liquid cleanser formulations where quality, performance, extreme mildness, and maximum ease of handling are required.
Essential fatty acids are recognized as a vital part of the human diet that cannot be synthesized internally. These fatty acids are the foundations of phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine, which are critical in the cell membrane to help facilitate the passage of biological substances.
Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid (EFA). EFAs are fundamental constituents of bio-membranes and precursors of biological substances such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and hydroxylated fatty acids.
