Description
Hexyldecanol is a fatty alcohol that serves as an emollient and helps improve the texture of cosmetic products. In cosmetics, it is used to soften the skin, retain moisture, and facilitate the application of the product. It creates a pleasant "slip", making the products less sticky and helps evenly distribute active ingredients. It also has a conditioning effect on the hair. Thanks to its gentle influence, it is suitable for sensitive skin and is used in moisturizers, serums, sunscreens, makeup, shampoos, and conditioners.
