Commonly found in lotions, creams, and hair conditioners for its ability to improve texture and spreadability. Also acts as a lubricant in makeup formulations, providing a silky feel without greasiness. Stable under a range of conditions, making it suitable for use in both rinse-off and leave-on products.
