Isododecane
Isododecane appears in 10 indexed US food products. No FDA SAFFA status or CSPI rating is attached in this snapshot, so this page reports prevalence rather than a safety verdict.
What the data can answer
Isododecane appears in 10 catalogued products, but this snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to it. This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

Catalog prevalence comes from Open Food Facts ingredient lists. FDA SAFFA and CSPI Chemical Cuisine labels are shown only when the source record contains them.
How to use this page
Audit the co-occurring flags first
50% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Isododecane as the trigger. Open records such as 50 Sensitive; Fry No More Heat Protectant Mist; Recovery Conditioner and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 82.0/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 28% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
50% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 9 of 9 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.

- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 28%
- Averaged label depth puts Isododecane in the upper half of the list (28% of list length, mean slot 11.1). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.
Derived by this site from the ingredient lists of every catalogued product (Open Food Facts), recomputed on each data refresh. 247,206 ingredients have at least one appearance and are ranked here. Usage and list position describe prevalence, not safety.
How do the sampled products compare?
Each point is one of the 10 sampled products listed below: its overall safety score against how many separately flagged ingredients its label carries. Bubble size is the number of ingredient rows the label actually resolved to.

Isododecane — common follow-ups
How should I read safety signals when Isododecane sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
50% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Isododecane is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Which product shelves show up most often with Isododecane? ▼
Isododecane ranks in the top decile by product count (#15,180 of 247,206), appearing in 10 indexed products led by Sunscreen. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.
Why is Isododecane so common on ingredient lists? ▼
The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Isododecane appears in 10 products (#15,180 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
