Isododecane, mixture of isomer acts as a reaction medium used for polymerization reactions. It is also useful as an emollient and solvent in skin care products due to its high spreadability, low viscosity and density. It is commonly used in anti-aging serums and also useful in many different cosmetic items like eyeliner, hair care, hair sprays, perfume, conditioners and lotions.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
