Perfluoromethyldecalin

What this ingredient generally does

This ingredient does several jobs: it soaks up excess liquid, prevents clumping, holds the formula together, and keeps the oil and water parts from separating. It also conditions skin, helping it feel smooth. In practice it keeps the product uniform and stable while improving skin feel.
