Hydrogenated Polydecene

What this ingredient generally does

This is a multi-use ingredient that conditions skin and hair, acts as an emollient to soften and smooth, and works as a solvent to dissolve other ingredients. In practice it helps the product spread smoothly and keeps the mix even. It also carries fragrance in the formula.
