ALTER-MATTIFIER is a 100% natural, plant-based instant mattifying powder made from PolyHydroxyButyrate (PHB), a biodegradable polymer produced by microorganisms.
This fine powder provides an instant matte finish to the skin by absorbing excess sebum and reducing shine, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin formulations.
It offers a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to synthetic microplastics, which are now restricted by European regulations.
