Used as an emollient and solvent in cosmetics and personal care products, providing a smooth, soft, light feel to skin and hair with good absorption and non-sticky texture. Commonly found in lotions, creams, conditioners, and face masks due to its ability to improve texture, spreadability, and viscosity adjustment. Also serves as a fragrance fixative in perfumes and scented products, contributing to long-lasting scent profiles. Its ester structure offers stability, low volatility, and enhances the stability of other ingredients, making it suitable for a variety of formulations requiring extended shelf life, particularly for dry skin or products needing high moisture.
