Description

Decyl Myristate is a high-purity, synthetic ester derived from myristic acid and decyl alcohol, valued for its exceptional emollient properties and light, non-greasy texture. This versatile ingredient is a key component in premium personal care and cosmetic formulations, where it enhances skin feel and product spreadability. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the cosmetics, skincare, and pharmaceutical industries for its ability to improve the sensory profile and performance of lotions, creams, and topical preparations.

Application

• As a primary emollient and skin-conditioning agent in facial creams, body lotions, and anti-aging serums.
• As a texture enhancer and spreading agent in sun care products (sunscreens) and makeup formulations (foundations, lipsticks).
• As a base oil and lubricant in high-end massage oils and bath oils for a smooth, non-tacky finish.
• In pharmaceutical topical ointments and creams as a carrier that facilitates active ingredient delivery.
• As a conditioning agent in hair care products such as conditioners and hair serums to impart shine and reduce frizz.
• In industrial applications as a lubricant additive or a component in specialty coatings and plasticizers.
