Polybutene

Polybutene is a synthetic polymer used in cosmetics primarily for its film-forming and adhesive properties. It helps products adhere to the skin or lips, providing a long-lasting effect. It also contributes to the texture and viscosity of formulations, making them feel smoother and more substantial.
