Used as an emollient and skin conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care products. It helps improve the texture and spreadability of lotions, creams, and makeup by providing a smooth, non-greasy feel. Also functions as a fragrance component or solvent in perfumes and scented products due to its mild, ester-like odor. Its lipophilic nature makes it useful in enhancing the delivery of active ingredients through the skin. Commonly found in hair conditioners to reduce static and improve manageability.
