Used widely in personal care products, it acts as a solvent and carrier in cosmetics, helping to spread products smoothly and evenly on the skin. It enhances the texture of skincare formulations, making them feel silky and non-greasy. In hair care, it reduces frizz and adds shine without weighing hair down. Additionally, it serves as a base in antiperspirants and deodorants, improving their application and feel. Its volatility allows it to evaporate quickly, leaving no residue, which is beneficial in makeup removers and cleansers. In industrial applications, it is utilized as a lubricant and in the production of silicone polymers.
