Main Functions

1. Skin Emollient and SoftenerIt can effectively soften the skin and replenish the lipid layer on the skin surface, forming a thin, breathable protective film. This film helps lock in skin moisture, prevent transepidermal water loss, and improve the condition of dry, rough skin, leaving the skin feeling smooth and supple without a sticky after-feel.
2. Solubilizer and Active Ingredient CarrierAs an efficient oil-soluble solvent, it can dissolve a variety of oil-soluble active substances, such as plant extracts, fat-soluble vitamins, and fragrances. In cosmetic formulations, it acts as a carrier to help these active ingredients disperse evenly and penetrate the skin barrier more easily, thereby enhancing the absorption and efficacy of the product.
3. Cosmetic Texture ImproverIt is often added to thick, oily products like heavy creams, sunscreens, and foundations to reduce their greasiness and improve spreadability. When applied, products containing it glide smoothly over the skin, making makeup application more even and natural, and reducing the likelihood of makeup caking or settling into fine lines.
4. Application in Hair Care and PharmaceuticalsIn hair care products, it can coat the hair shaft, reduce friction between hair strands, and add a subtle shine to dull hair, while also helping to tame frizz. In the pharmaceutical field, it is used as a component of topical ointments and creams, improving the texture of the preparation and promoting the penetration of medicinal ingredients into the skin.
