Emulsification and Stability
It plays a crucial role in emulsions, preventing oil - and water - based components from separating. It ensures the stability and uniform distribution of oil in water or vice versa, making the product more stable and improving its quality and shelf life.
Skin Protection and Moisturization
As an emollient, it fills the gaps between dead skin cells, forms a thin film on the skin's surface, and acts as a barrier. It protects the skin from allergens, bacteria, and irritants, preventing dryness and itchiness. It also helps maintain and reinforce the lipid barrier, retaining skin moisture, making the skin appear soft, smooth, and healthy.
Enhanced Efficacy of Sunscreens
In sunscreens, it coats oxide particles, helping them disperse evenly on the skin. This increases the effectiveness of sunscreens, ensuring better protection against UV rays.
Improved Texture
It can improve the texture of cosmetic products, making them creamier and more pleasant to use. In makeup, it helps pigments distribute more evenly, improving the color pay - off and appearance of the product.
