About
A cleansing or emulsifying ingredient used to soften skin, help oil and water mix, and condition hair. It is usually acceptable in well-formulated products, though sensitive skin can still react.
This is a surfactant or emulsifier that helps with cleansing or formula stability, so the main safety tradeoff is barrier disruption rather than systemic toxicity. At typical cosmetic use levels, the main downside is local irritation, allergy, or formula-dependent sensitivity rather than strong systemic risk.
