Used primarily as an emollient and solvent in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It helps improve the texture and spreadability of skincare products, such as lotions, creams, and serums, by providing a smooth, non-greasy feel on the skin. Its ability to dissolve both polar and non-polar ingredients makes it effective in stabilizing formulations and enhancing the delivery of active ingredients. Commonly found in makeup, sunscreens, and cleansers, it contributes to product stability and skin compatibility without causing irritation.
