FunctionEmollient
What it is — Hydrogenated Polydecene (INCI: Hydrogenated Polydecene) is a synthetic emollient.
What it does — It is commonly used to give a smooth, cushiony, silicone-like slip and to soften the skin without silicones.
Typical use — It appears in lotions, creams, sunscreens, makeup and hair products, where it improves glide and skin-feel.
Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin types. It sits on the surface and shapes texture rather than penetrating or acting as an active.
Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: an inert, non-penetrating emollient. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
Why we grade it Low: Low risk — inert, non-penetrating emollient.
