Myristyl myristate is an ester compound formed by the esterification reaction of myristyl alcohol and myristic acid. This high-purity cosmetic raw material is white to off-white waxy flakes with a melting point of 45–53°C. As a mild and oil-free skin care emollient, it is very suitable for creating a smooth and refreshing skin feel in creams, lotions and makeup formulas.
It is easily dispersed in oil-based systems such as vegetable oils and mineral oils, and can also be dissolved in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. When added to the formula, it can significantly soften the base texture of lotions and creams, improve the ductility and absorption of application, and reduce the whitening phenomenon during use. It does not leave a heavy residue, and the thin protective film formed can enhance moisturizing power without causing greasy feeling.
Myristyl myristate has stable chemical properties and good compatibility with a variety of emulsifiers and surfactants. Common raw materials such as
Glycol distearate can be used with it. It can improve the stability and use effect of the cosmetic system, bring long-lasting moisturizing to skin care products, and make the powder in makeup disperse more smoothly. Recommended addition amount: 1%–5%.
