Hydrogenated Polydecene
Generally safe·Moderate evidence
A light synthetic emollient that gives creams a smooth, non-greasy slip, a common alternative to mineral oil in Korean formulas. It sits on the skin surface and is graded low concern in published assessments.
Questions
- Is hydrogenated polydecene a silicone?
- No, it's a hydrocarbon emollient made from mineral oil precursors, not a silicone. It's used to soften skin and improve product feel without the occlusive weight of heavier oils.
- Does hydrogenated polydecene clog pores?
- It's classified as a non-comedogenic ingredient in published guides, meaning the evidence doesn't support it clogging pores in typical use. However, individual skin responses vary.
