Where It’s From

Man-made Ingredient

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is a versatile ingredient commonly found in skincare and cosmetic products. Known for its excellent emollient properties, it effectively hydrates and softens the skin, creating a smooth and supple texture. This lightweight compound forms a protective barrier, helping to lock in moisture and enhance the longevity of makeup applications. In addition to its moisturizing benefits, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is often used as a substitute for mineral oils, providing a non-greasy feel while maintaining a luxurious, silky finish. It is suitable for all skin types and is particularly favored in formulations for sensitive or delicate skin due to its gentle nature. While generally regarded as safe, it's always wise for consumers to check ingredients if they have specific sensitivities or concerns.
