This ingredient functions primarily by delivering emollient benefits to the skin, promoting a soft and smooth feel. Concurrently, it acts as a surfactant emulsifier, facilitating the stable integration of oil and water phases within a formulation, thereby creating a luxurious texture and aiding in the replenishment of skin lipids.
