Hydrogenated Polyisobutene (and) Hydrogenated Polydecene is a photostable, ultra-soft emollient with various sensory perceptions. It is an ideal base material for daycare products since they are photostable, and hence prevents the UV-light-induced formation of free radicals in the formulation. 

They are excellent emollients for sun care products, as they are completely photostable. As texture modifiers, they bring softness and elegance to sun care formulations. They are compatible with all types of UV filters.
