Resolite™ (Hydrogenated Polyisobutene)

Resolite™ (Hydrogenated Polyisobutene) offers several benefits in personal care and cosmetics, enhancing product performance and user experience. First, it functions as an excellent emollient, providing a silky, smooth feel to the skin without leaving a greasy residue. Its ability to form a barrier on the skin surface helps to lock in moisture, promoting hydration and reducing water loss. Additionally, it enhances the spreadability of products, ensuring even application and absorption, which is particularly beneficial in sunscreens and color cosmetics. It also boosts the viscosity of formulations, contributing to richer, more luxurious textures. It is non-comedogenic and highly stable, making it suitable for use in formulations for sensitive and acne-prone skin types. Lastly, it lends a subtle gloss to lip products, enhancing their aesthetic appeal.
