ISOPARAFFIN for Lip Gloss

As consumers demand longer-lasting, more comfortable, and safer lip products, the formulation of lip gloss is evolving. Modern lip products aim for a lightweight, non-drying or glossy shine without greasiness. Traditionally, ISODODECANE has been the go-to solvent in these formulas due to its fast evaporation and ultra-light feel.

However, as the market shifts toward cleaner and more skin-friendly beauty, ISOPARAFFIN is emerging as a compelling alternative - offering excellent solvent power, enhanced comfort, and regulatory compliance.

The Role of ISOPARAFFIN in Lip gloss

ISOPARAFFIN is a high-purity, synthetic hydrocarbon solvent with low odor, low irritation, and excellent compatibility with other cosmetic ingredients. When used in lip products, it helps to:

• Dissolve pigments and waxes evenly for rich, vibrant color

• Improve glide and spreadability for a smooth, non-sticky application

• Enhance film-forming with a soft, flexible finish that doesn’t crack

• Adjust texture and viscosity to suit matte, glossy, or tint formats

Depending on the desired texture and finish, choose ISOPAR H for faster evaporation or ISOPAR L for a softer, smoother feel.

Clean Beauty Ready: Safer Ingredients for Lip Care

Consumers are increasingly aware of what goes into their cosmetics - especially products applied to the lips. ISOPARAFFIN offers an ideal balance of safety, performance, and sensory feel. With global regulatory approvals (REACH), it is suitable for export markets and clean-label beauty lines.

Recommended Applications

ISOPARAFFIN can be used in a wide range of lip color formats:

• Matte or velvet lip gloss

• Glossy liquid lipsticks

• Lip tints / stains

• Lip oils and hybrid color products

Thoughts

ISOPARAFFIN isn’t just a replacement for ISODODECANE—it’s a strategic upgrade for formulators seeking better skin feel, lower irritation, and global compliance. As daily cosmetics move toward cleaner, safer, and more user-friendly solutions, ISOPARAFFIN stands out as the new standard for solvent performance of makeup remover etc.
