Used primarily in cosmetic and personal care formulations as an emollient and skin conditioning agent. It helps improve the texture and spreadability of creams and lotions, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel on the skin. Due to its ester structure, it enhances the stability of formulations and supports the delivery of active ingredients. Commonly found in moisturizers, sunscreens, and anti-aging products, it also acts as a mild surfactant and emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based components effectively. Its low irritation potential makes it suitable for sensitive skin products.
