What is it?
Polybutene is a synthetic ingredient used in cosmetic formulations to enhance texture, gloss, and overall performance. It is a smooth, viscous emollient that helps create a soft, comfortable feel on the skin while contributing to a rich, cushion-like consistency. It is commonly used in products such as lip formulations, mascaras, and complexion products to improve application and provide a refined finish.
Where does it come from?
Polybutene is a synthetically derived ingredient produced from petroleum-based sources through a controlled refinement process. This process ensures a stable, purified ingredient that is suitable for cosmetic use and delivers consistent performance in formulations.
Within our approach to clean beauty, ingredients are chosen based on their safety, skin compatibility, and functional benefits, rather than solely on whether they are naturally derived. All ingredients used in our formulations comply with the strictest safety standards, including the EU Cosmetic Regulation, ensuring they are safe for their intended use.
