This multifunctional cosmetic ingredient is widely used in skincare and haircare products thanks to its excellent moisturizing properties. It helps attract and retain moisture, improving the condition of skin and hair while providing a pleasant feeling of comfort after use.

In skincare products, it helps maintain optimal moisture levels and makes the skin feel softer, smoother, and more elastic. This ingredient is especially valued in products for dry, rough, and dehydrated skin, as well as in hand, foot, and body care formulations.

In haircare products, it helps retain moisture in the hair fiber, improves elasticity, and supports a healthier-looking appearance. With regular use, hair feels softer, easier to manage, and less affected by dryness-related damage.

Technical Information and Usage Guidelines

  • Solubility: readily soluble in water. Add to the water phase and stir until completely dissolved.
  • Applications: suitable for creams, lotions, serums, body care products, hand and foot creams, shampoos, and conditioners.
  • Recommended usage rate: 1–10% for moisturizing products; higher concentrations are used for intensive care of dry, rough, or thickened skin.
  • Incorporation: best added during the cooling phase when the formulation is not excessively hot to help maintain ingredient quality.
  • pH range: formulations are generally recommended within a pH range of 5–7. Extremely acidic or alkaline conditions may reduce stability.
  • Key difference: compared to D-panthenol and propylene glycol, this ingredient is particularly effective for softening dry, rough, and thickened skin.
  • Note: higher concentrations may cause a tingling sensation on sensitive or damaged skin, so compatibility testing is recommended.
