Acts as a skin-conditioning agent, providing a smooth and soft feel. Also serves as a solvent for other fragrance components, helping to stabilize and evenly disperse scents in formulations. Its low volatility allows for longer-lasting fragrance release. Suitable for use in a wide range of pH conditions, making it versatile in product development.
