What Is Betaprene H?
Isoprene is a chemical that is used to control the thickness of certain products like cosmetics. It's a transparent liquid that smells similar to petroleum and can become solid if it gets contaminated or heated up too much. Isoprene doesn't mix with water and has a mild scent. It's also known by other names, such as 2-methylbuta-1,3-diene and 2-methylbutadiene. Natural rubber comes from plants, but it contains isoprene as well.
What is the purpose of Betaprene H in personal care products?

Names and identifiers that we found for this substance include: Betaprene H, Isoprene D, Isoprene oligomer, Isoprene polymer, trans-Polyisoprene, Isoprene homopolymer, PIP (polyisoprene), Poly(isopentadiene), Revultex Lan 960, Poly(2-methylbutadiene), 2-Methyl-1,3-butadiene homopolymer, KM 4K1, TR 301, JSR-PIP 2, LIR 20000, "POLYISOPRENE RUBBER, LIQUID", CIS-1,4-POLYISOPRENE, JSR-LIR 20000, and H 07-119-04.
What Are Viscosity-Controlling Ingredients?
Betaprene H has viscosity-controlling characteristics.
Viscosity-controlling ingredients increase or decrease the thickness of a product. These ingredients are essential in creating the desired texture and consistency for cosmetic products such as lotions, creams, and serums.
Increasing the viscosity of a cosmetic product can provide a thicker and more substantial texture, making it easier to apply and providing better coverage. On the other hand, decreasing the viscosity can create a lighter, more fluid consistency, allowing for quicker absorption into the skin.
Safety
