Uses

  • Used in conditioners, shampoos, and lotions to impart a slippery feel to the product.

Benefits

  • It can be found in many hair products like conditioner, detangler, shampoo and styling gel.
  • It also acts as an emulsifying agent, gentle enough to be used in baby products that are left on the skin.
  • When used in lotions and creams, it gives a soft and powdery after-touch to the skin.

Cautions
