Description

Tridecyl Myristate is a high-purity, synthetic ester derived from myristic acid and tridecyl alcohol. This compound serves as a versatile and effective emollient, solvent, and carrier oil, prized for its excellent skin feel, low odor, and stability. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking non-greasy, non-irritating base materials. Its compatibility with a wide range of ingredients makes it a preferred choice for high-performance formulations.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup products for its smooth, dry-skin feel.
• Hair Care: Used in conditioners, serums, and styling products to impart shine, reduce frizz, and improve combability without heaviness.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Acts as a solvent and penetration enhancer in ointments, gels, and transdermal drug delivery systems.
• Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a synthetic lubricant base or additive in specialized industrial and textile applications.
• Plasticizers: Employed as a secondary plasticizer to improve flexibility and processing of polymers and resins.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a building block for the synthesis of more complex esters and specialty chemicals.
