why we use isodecyl neopentanoate

The Basics

The ester of branched-chain decyl alcohols and neopentanoic acid. Isodecyl neopentanoate is an ultra-light, low molecular weight, fast-spreading emollient that aids in product application, absorbtion, and dissolving oil-soluble active ingredients. It gives formulas an incredibly elegant feel and soft skin finish.
