Frequently Asked Questions

All Luxtra grades originate from plant oils, which yields the high Naturally Derived Index (NDI as defined by ISO 16128). We do not add anything else to our products to ensure the NDI is as close to 1 as possible. Our end products, despite having plant origins are not found in nature, and therefore can be viewed as synthetic. Essentially, we take the best nature has to offer, and then upgrade it to deliver the best performance and NDI to our customers.

Luxtra grades have measurable biodegradability because of the unique structures and purity we achieve that enable decomposition. It seems countintuitive, but it was essential that Luxtra grades deliver superior experience to the user, and not adversely impacting the environment. Part of our philosophy is to do less harm, and this is one example.

Our INCI names follow the nomenclature guidelines set forth by PCPC, and although they do not sound ‘natural’ they are perfectly indicative of the chemical makeup of the materials.

Luxtra LIGHT: Isohexadecene
Luxtra PURE: C32-54 Isoalkane
Luxtra RICH:  C32-54 Isoalkane

Rest assured, the ISO 16128 Natural Derived Index for Luxtra are 99.7% or greater
