Isononyl isononanoate is a synthetic ingredient that has skin softening properties and is widely used in cosmetics and skin care products to improve the texture and feel of formulations. It is mainly used as an emollient, texture enhancer and plasticiser. It also acts as an antistatic agent, reducing static electricity and preventing hair or skin from becoming electrically charged..
Isononyl isononanoate in skincare products helps to maintain the softness and plasticity of the skin while forming a semi-occlusive film that moisturises the skin, reduces the itchy sensation of dry skin and improves the outermost layer of the skin's stratum corneum by preventing evaporation of the skin's natural moisture.
