It offers the additional benefit of excellent shine from its high refractive index. It promoted lubricity and water barrier for the skin. It acts as detackifier in creams and lotions. SeraSoft® SW 73 is used in antiperspirant roll-ons, hand creams, body lotions, sun-care, color cosmetics, deodorants and foaming cleansers. Its high melting point makes it suitable for use in color cosmetic lip-care products.
