MY914 VS MY916(MYRISTYL MYRISTATE vs CETYL PALMITATE)

2026,02,11
OILREE® MY914 and OILREE® MY916 are two dry emollient oil products.Both belong to the category of Skin sensory conditioner. They are both presented in the form of white particles and use a packaging specification of 20kg/bag, but they have their own focus on application scenarios and adaptation groups, providing diversified raw material solutions for the beauty industry.
 
914 and 916
 
·MY914: INCI MYRISTYL MYRISTATE, acid value ≤2, melting point 48-52℃.
·MY916: INCI CETYL PALMITATE, acid value ≤1, melting point 48-53℃.
 
The core ingredient of MY914 is Myristyl Myristate, which is a single synthetic compound with a clear structure, which has both skin sensation regulation and emulsifying auxiliary effects.Under the normal temperature of 25℃, it appears as delicate white particles, and its fat-soluble properties allow it to be easily integrated into various oil-based formula systems.Its unique molecular structure gives the product the advantage of rod shape. When added to cream products, it can effectively reduce the hardness of the matrix and make the texture easier to push away.
 
In contrast, MY916 uses Cetyl Palmitate as its core component, which is also a synthetic single compound with more outstanding emulsifying properties.Its white particle morphology is consistent with MY914, but the acid value control is more stringent, and the melting point range is slightly different, which makes it show better performance in high temperature stability tests, suitable for use in products with high formula stability requirements.

Application scenario segmentation
 
1.In the field of skin care products, the advantages of MY914 are concentrated in cream products.Traditional cream formulas often cause whitening after application due to the addition of 1618 alcohol, which affects the use experience.While achieving stable thickening of the system, MY914 eliminates the problem of whitening and gives the skin a natural and translucent state.Its recommended addition amount is 1-5%, which can significantly enhance the high-end feel of the product after addition, especially suitable for creating refreshing face creams, body creams and other products.
 
MY916 is more suitable for use in skin care products with high emulsification requirements.As an Emulsifier with excellent performance, its recommended addition amount is 0.5-2.0%. When added to water creams, face creams and other products, it can effectively improve the compatibility of the water and oil phases, make the formula more stable, and it is not prone to problems such as stratification and agglomeration.At the same time, it can also improve the ductility of the product and make the skin feel smoother when applied. It can be used with nonionic emulsifiers to further enhance the emulsifying effect.
 
2.In the field of makeup, both raw materials can replace carnauba wax and be used in lipstick formulas, but the focus is different.With the characteristics of high refractive index, MY914 can significantly improve the gloss of lipstick after addition, make the color fuller and brighter, and at the same time improve the compatibility between grease and waxy, so as to avoid lipstick fracture, cream softening and other problems, suitable for creating a mirror, moisturizing texture of lipstick products.
 
MY916 is more suitable for use in matte lipstick formulas.Its melting point range is suitable for the molding needs of lipstick. After adding, it can enhance the hardness and stability of the paste, so that the lipstick is not easy to deform in a high temperature environment, while maintaining the texture of the matte makeup effect.
 
Interesting division of labor:
Day cream, makeup cream, men's BB cream-I love 914 more, it's refreshing and not shiny.
Night cream, elbow cream, mother cream-I love 916 more, and the sense of closure is reassuring.
 
Adapt to crowd positioning
 
Skin type adaptation angle
MY914 is more suitable for people with oily and mixed skin types.Its dry emollient properties can replenish the necessary moisture for the skin while keeping the surface of the skin fresh and non-sticky, effectively regulating the water-oil balance in oil-prone areas such as the T-zone, and avoiding acne and acne problems caused by excessive oil secretion.For consumers who pursue a refreshing and moisturizing skin care experience, skin care products with MY914 added are undoubtedly ideal.
 
MY916 is more suitable for people with neutral and dry skin.It has gentle emulsifying properties. When added to skin care products, it can lock in moisture to the skin and relieve dryness and tightness.For people with dry skin, body creams and creams containing MY916 can bring a long-lasting moisturizing skin care experience.
 
Makeup
MY914 is favored by makeup lovers.Especially for those who like moisturizing lipsticks, lipstick products containing this raw material are not only bright in color, but also smooth and non-stuck when applied, which can effectively reduce dryness and peeling of the lips and create a full and shiny makeup effect.
 
MY916 is suitable for consumers who prefer matte makeup.Matte lipsticks often have the problem of dry texture, and the formula with MY916 can maintain the matte texture while enhancing the moisturizing of the cream, reducing dry lips, lip lines and other problems, and making the matte makeup effect more advanced and comfortable.

In general
 
OILREE® MY914 and OILREE® MY916 dry emollient oils, with differentiated molecular properties and functional advantages, provide a variety of raw material options for diverse needs.
 
The core value of the two raw materials lies in the realization of precise layering: with its rod-shaped molecular structure and high refractive index, MY914 is used in the formula to optimize skin texture and brighten makeup effect. It is suitable for the research and development of skin care products and makeup products that pursue a lightweight and natural sense.MY916 focuses on stable formula and long-lasting moisturizing with more stringent acid value control and high temperature stability, making it the preferred raw material for high-moisture and high-stability products.
 
This complementary layout eliminates the need for brands to make complex ingredient trade-offs in formula development, and can quickly match raw materials according to the positioning of the target product line.Whether it is a refreshing skin care series for young consumer groups, a high-moisturizing care line for mature skin, or a makeup product that covers different makeup effects such as mirror and matte, the two raw materials can be flexibly selected to achieve precise product power improvement.
 
At the same time, both raw materials have good compatibility and compatibility. For example, they can work with mainstream raw materials such as Dimethicone vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, which is not easy to destroy the stability of the original formula system.
 
From the industry level, the launch of the two raw materials has provided landing support for the trend of “refined formula” in the beauty industry, and promoted the upgrading of emollient and skin-feeling regulating raw materials.
