Description

Myristyl Oleate is a high-purity, synthetic ester derived from myristyl alcohol and oleic acid, valued for its exceptional emollient and lubricating properties. This versatile compound is engineered to deliver superior skin feel, spreadability, and formulation stability in demanding applications. It is an essential ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to enhance product performance and sensory appeal.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A primary emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup products for a non-greasy, silky after-feel.
• Hair Care Formulations: Used in conditioners, serums, and styling products to impart shine, reduce frizz, and improve combability.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Serves as a penetration enhancer and base emollient in ointments, gels, and medicated creams.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a biodegradable lubricant and mold release agent in plastic and rubber processing.
• Textile & Fiber Processing: Acts as a softening agent and lubricant for synthetic fibers and yarns during manufacturing.
• Specialty Chemical Intermediate: Utilized in the synthesis of more complex esters and surfactants for niche applications.
