Polyisobutene

Polyisobutene is a synthetic polymer that acts as a binder, film-former, and viscosity-increasing agent in cosmetic products. It provides a smooth, non-tacky feel and can help to keep other ingredients in place on the skin or hair. It is commonly found in lip glosses and other emollient products.
