C13-14 Isoalkane
C13-14 Isoalkane is a branched hydrocarbon emollient/solvent used to improve slip, spreadability, and a lightweight, non-greasy skin feel. It is chemically inert, low-volatility, and functions mainly as a texture enhancer and vehicle rather than an active treatment ingredient.

Risks & Warnings
Generally low risk in topical cosmetics. Main concerns are occasional stinging or irritation in very sensitive skin and the fact that it is a hydrocarbon emollient that may feel occlusive in some acne-prone users. Not a meaningful source of pregnancy-specific concern when used topically in cosmetic concentrations. ([cir-safety.org](https://www.cir-safety.org/ingredient/c13-14-isoparaffin?utm_source=openai))
