Widely used as a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier, it is effective in stabilizing water-in-oil emulsions. Commonly found in cosmetic formulations such as creams, lotions, and serums, it helps blend water and oil components smoothly. It also enhances the spreadability and texture of skincare products. In pharmaceuticals, it serves as an emulsifying agent in topical preparations and oral suspensions. Additionally, it is used in food products as an emulsifier to improve consistency and shelf life. Its ability to reduce surface tension makes it valuable in agricultural sprays and industrial cleaning agents.
