In cosmetology, it is a highly prized ingredient for its particular affinity with the hydrolipidic film: its lightweight structure allows it to nourish the skin without weighing it down, while maintaining a silky, pleasant sensory feel. It is interesting to note that historically, it was used as a base in early ointments thanks to its ability to "carry" active ingredients deep into the skin without being occlusive. It is still chosen by laboratories today to deliver immediate softness and a luminous finish, perfect for restoring comfort even to the most sensitive skin.
