It is an ingredient used in cosmetics due to its properties of reducing greasiness, improving product texture, and stabilizing its composition. Main properties: 1. Thickener and stabilizer. Used to enhance the texture of products, making them more creamy or gel-like. Thanks to its properties, the ingredient helps products maintain stability, even when the temperature changes. 2.
