It is used as an emulsion stabilizer, opacifying agent, and foam boosting surfactant, as well as an aqueous and nonaqueous viscosity -increasing agent. It imparts an emollient feel to the skin and can be used in water-in-oil emulsions, oil-in-water emulsions, and anhydrous formulations . It is commonly used in hair conditioners and other hair products. Chemical Abstracts Service, CAS # 8005-44-5 and is available in NF grade.
