Used primarily as an emollient in cosmetic and personal care formulations, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel on the skin. It is commonly found in lotions, creams, and makeup due to its ability to improve spreadability and enhance skin absorption. Its light texture makes it suitable for products designed for oily or acne-prone skin. Also functions as a solvent for other ingredients in fragrance and essential oil blends. Offers good stability and low irritation potential, making it favorable in sensitive skin formulations.
