Used extensively in skincare and cosmetics due to its excellent moisturizing properties and ability to mimic the skin’s natural oils. It helps strengthen the skin barrier, retain moisture, and prevent dryness without clogging pores. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture makes it suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin. Frequently found in facial serums, moisturizers, sunscreens, and lip care products. Also used in hair care formulations to add shine, reduce frizz, and improve hair softness. Due to its stability and low reactivity, it enhances the shelf life of cosmetic products and acts as an effective emollient and carrier for other active ingredients.
