INCI: Polyisobutene

  • Flexible, comfortable adhesion
  • Enhances wear and longevity
  • Improves slip and cushioned glide
  • Helps resist smudging and transfer
  • Supports smooth, even application
Polyisobutene is a lightweight synthetic polymer used to build texture, cushion, and a soft-focus finish in modern formulas. It provides flexible adhesion that helps pigments and layers hug the skin comfortably, boosting glide and wear without a tacky feel. You’ll often find it in balms, glosses, and water-resistant formats—ideal for anyone seeking smoother application and a stay-put, move-with-you finish.
