Used as an emollient in cosmetic and skincare formulations, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel on the skin. It helps improve spreadability of products like lotions, creams, and sunscreens while enhancing skin moisturization. Due to its low volatility and good solvency, it is also effective in fragrance applications, helping to stabilize and prolong scent release. Its lightweight texture makes it suitable for use in makeup products, where it contributes to a silky finish without clogging pores.
