Isobutane

Also known as: 2-Methylpropane

Isobutane is a colorless, flammable gas that is commonly used as a propellant in aerosol cosmetic and personal care products. It helps to create pressure within the can, allowing the product to be sprayed out evenly. It evaporates quickly upon contact with air.
