Isododecane is a petroleum derived emollient of 12 carbons in length. It is chemically similar to our naturally derived Undecane (C11) and Tridecane (C13) but rather than being a straight chained molecule, it is branched giving it slightly different spreading, solvating and evaporating qualities. Isododecane belongs to a family of chemicals called Isoparaffins.
