About Polyisobutene

Polyisobutene is generally a homopolymer of isobutylene.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to help formula ingredients bind together and maintain their form, to form a thin film on the skin, hair, or nail surface after application, and to control the viscosity and flow of the formula.[2]
