Used primarily as an emollient and skin conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care products. It helps improve the texture and spreadability of creams, lotions, and makeup by providing a smooth, non-greasy feel on the skin. Due to its lipid-like properties, it enhances skin compatibility and helps retain moisture, making it suitable for dry or sensitive skin formulations. Also functions as a lubricant in topical pharmaceuticals and can act as a release agent in some industrial applications. Stable under normal conditions and compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients.
