Description

Coconut Alkanes is avolatile (something that does not absorb into the skin but evaporates from it), naturally derived vegetable alkanecoming from renewable sources. It is a light, oily liquid that works as anemollient and gives a smooth skin feel.

It's often combined with another emollient called Coco-Caprylate/Caprate and the two together can serve as a great replacement for some volatile silicones, like Cyclopentasiloxane.
