Description

Myristic Acid Arachidyl Ester is a high-purity, synthetic fatty acid ester derived from myristic acid and arachidyl alcohol. This compound serves as a premium emollient and viscosity modifier, prized for its excellent skin feel, stability, and non-greasy texture. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to enhance product performance and sensory attributes.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a superior emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and sunscreens.
• Hair Care Products: Used as a glossing agent and conditioner in shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products to improve manageability and shine.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Serves as a base or excipient in ointments, creams, and dermatological preparations for its smooth spreading properties.
• Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a non-toxic lubricant and mold release agent in specialized industrial and food-grade applications.
• Plasticizer & Textile Auxiliary: Imparts softness and flexibility as a secondary plasticizer in polymers and as a softening agent for textiles and leather.
• High-Performance Greases: Utilized as a synthetic component in specialty lubricating greases requiring high stability and a wide temperature range.
