Used in cosmetic and skincare formulations for its moisturizing and humectant properties. Helps retain skin hydration by attracting water to the surface, improving skin elasticity and smoothness. Commonly found in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners due to its ability to enhance texture and provide a soft, non-greasy feel. Also acts as a mild protective barrier, supporting skin repair in dry or sensitive conditions. Suitable for use in natural and sensitive skin products owing to its biocompatible origin.
