Used as a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifying agent in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It helps stabilize emulsions, improves texture, and enhances skin feel in lotions and creams. Due to its glucoside structure, it is biodegradable and exhibits low skin irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin products. Also functions as a mild cleansing agent in facial washes and baby care products. Its hydrophilic-lipophilic balance allows effective interaction with both water and oil phases, improving product performance and ingredient dispersion.
