This chemical is widely used in the formulation of personal care products, particularly as a non-ionic surfactant or emulsifier. It helps stabilize mixtures of oil and water, making it a key ingredient in creams, lotions, and other skincare products. Its ability to enhance texture and spreadability while maintaining skin compatibility makes it valuable in cosmetic applications. Additionally, it is utilized in hair care products to improve conditioning and softness. Its mild nature and moisturizing properties also make it suitable for use in sensitive skin formulations. Beyond personal care, it can be found in industrial applications where emulsification and stabilization of formulations are required.
