Used as an emollient and conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care products. It helps improve the texture and spreadability of creams, lotions, and hair care formulations. Due to its skin-friendly and moisturizing properties, it is often included in products designed for dry or sensitive skin. Also serves as a biodegradable solvent and stabilizer in some pharmaceutical and topical delivery systems. Its ester-based structure allows for good compatibility with other lipid-based ingredients, enhancing product performance without leaving a greasy feel.
