Perfluorotetralin is a synthetic, fluorinated naphthalene derivative used in cosmetic formulations. "Tetralin" means tetrahydronaphthalene, a hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C10H12, which occurs in coal tar. Perfluorotetralin is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance has a combability improving effect i.e. it reduces or prevents the tangling of the hair due to changes or damage on the hair surface and thus improves the combability.
