Description

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is a synthetic liquid emollient widely used in cosmetic products as a substitute for mineral oils and silicones. It is added to formulas to provide a soft glide, silky texture, and long-lasting moisturizing effect without greasiness. Thanks to its stability and inertness, it does not oxidize, irritate the skin, or clog pores. This component is particularly valued in decorative cosmetics (lipsticks, lip glosses, foundations) as well as in skincare products (creams, balms, oils). It creates a protective film on the skin, reducing moisture loss and improving the appearance and feeling of softness.
