Used as a mild surfactant in personal care products, particularly in shampoos and facial cleansers due to its excellent foaming and cleansing properties with low irritation potential. Its structure provides good compatibility with skin and eyes, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations. Also functions as a stabilizer and emulsifier in cosmetic emulsions, helping to maintain product consistency and performance over time. Commonly found in baby care products and hypoallergenic lines where gentle yet effective cleaning is required.
