#1 solvent in many skincare and haircare products. Usually, creams contain 40 - 70% of water, while toners and micellar water may have up to 90%.

It's a neutral component itself, but it's a very important part of a product.

It smoothes the hair and gives them a very pleasant silky gloss. It protects the hair from aggressive surfactants like SLS.
