Difference between C15-19 Alkane and C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate.
In a recent read…I was reading marketing propaganda from Seppic on their C15-19 Alkane. A cursory glance of the re-packers makes it look like a difficult item to acquire.
The C12-15 AB is an easy acquisition. So not looking for a molecular explanation…as google can do that… How would one describe the sensory/haptic differences of the two…and would there be a noticeable difference in formulation if using just a couple of percent?
As I use a lot of Isoamyl laurate, you can also use that as a point of reference.
Aloha.

Alkane…let me know. -
Ali express has it under see the inci from BASF. I buy a lot of seppic and other popular sellers such as BASF there cheap!

I have used both. C12-15 is a heavier ester. It can be a partial or full replacement for LLP. Sensory of Dicaprylyl carbonate is much better than L-15. I felt it Less absorbing with some oily residue. Comparable to Cetiol ultimate. C12-15 + Dicaprylil Carbonate creates remarkable sensory.

Thank you for your feedback….I have done a tremendous amount of back and forth between Dicap Carb and Ethylhexyl isononanoate. I chose the latter as my final winner for dry emollient. What gave the Ethylhexyl isononanoate the ‘win’ was if gives a less shiny (more matte) finish….otherwise those two are my top picks for a dry emollient.
The project I just finished had a lot of silicone oils in it…. and I thought that the blend of Ethylhexyl isononanoate and the C12-15 AB was the perfect mix for stability with branched chain esters and with various polarities at play.
I have always been one to buy multiple ‘same’ ingredients from various suppliers and compare them, and have always found VAST differences! None more so than CCT….which ranged from nasty to elegant. But interestingly enough…..which I wouldn’t have expected from a synthetic ingredient….the runner up….for most varience….vendor to vendor….was absolutely… C 12-15 AB !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go figure.
So, I did end up with a C12-15 AB that I am very fond of….and for a guy that has made ester’s his lifeblood….that is saying a lot. I have to thank @chemicalmatt , and his pure and deep love for C 12-15 AB, for my continued testing of this multi-functional….to the point that I also came to cherish it. 😍

Just forgot to mention name the L-15 repacker from India. Yasham Specialities do repack it. Is it convenient for you to buy from INDIA ? Let me know. I can share contact of their executive.
Will they be able to sell in your region ?… I don’t know.
