Typical use — Used widely across rinse-off and leave-on formulas, from shampoos to after-sun gels, often as one of the first ingredients after water.

Who it suits / good to know — Well tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive or irritated skin, which is why it is a common base ingredient in soothing formulas.
