Isononyl Isononanoate Confusion
To those who use Isononyl Isononanoate, what is the skin feel and how does it impact your formula? Some manufacturers describe it as having a “rich onctuous, velvety and non-greasy feel” that “impacts a rich, full bodied, long-lasting feel on skin”. Then others say it has a light, soft and dry skin feel. I have dry skin so I am going for something that has a rich creamy long lasting feel but all the conflicting is confusing me. I would appreciate any insight from those who have worked with this ingredient.
Thank you!

If i were to describe it, it’s a light ester that gives a soft, velvety skin feel. Richness depends on the percentage you used it at really.

Thank you so much for the thorough response! Might I ask your thoughts on if you find it to be “long lasting”? Again thank you for providing insight.

It depends on what kind of “long lasting” results you want. I’d recommend mixing it with different emollients for a specific result. By itself, i won’t say that it’s that long lasting, but it should hold up alone for a few hours. You can mix it with a butter or heavier lipid if you want.
