It’s fantastic in so many facial products – I’ve been using it a lot in facial serums as the base of the product – and any other products that contain oil.
I used it in a hand lotion I made recently as I wanted something less greasy feeling that would absorb quickly but still be really moisturizing, and it was awesome!
I’ve also been using it in make-up primers.
It’s considered a good dimethicone replacement as it has that silky, non-greasy feeling, so you can use it in lotions, make-up products, and hair care products.
In hair care products, it makes for easier wet and dry combing and offers protection from heat treatments, like straightening or blow-drying. And it helps seal the cuticle to reduce frizz and increase shine. Use it anywhere you can use oils, like anti-frizz sprays, conditioners, and hair oils.
And it’s considered to be a cleansing ingredient in things designed to remove oil or oil-based make-up like mascara, so it’s a good ingredient for a make-up remover.
It isn’t soluble in water, alcohol, or polyols, like butylene or propylene glycol.
It is soluble in silicones, like dimethicone or cyclomethicone, as well as esters and oils.
