- Applications
Sensory modifiers are ingredients used to adjust the feel of cosmetic products, providing a more pleasant and comfortable user experience.
These ingredients improve the tactile properties of formulations—such as smoothness, softness, and reduced stickiness—and contribute to better spreadability. By enhancing the overall texture and application performance, sensory modifiers help increase user satisfaction.
