Description

Decylmyristate is a high-purity ester compound, specifically the decyl ester of myristic acid, valued for its excellent emollient and solvent properties. This versatile ingredient is crucial for formulators seeking a non-greasy, stable, and skin-compatible base for high-performance personal care and cosmetic products. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries for its superior spreading characteristics and formulation stability.

Application

• As a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in facial creams, lotions, and body butters.
• As a solubilizer and carrier oil for active ingredients and fragrances in cosmetic serums and oils.
• As a key component in lipstick and makeup formulations to improve texture, glide, and wear.
• In hair care products such as conditioners and serums to impart shine and reduce frizz.
• As a plasticizer and lubricant in specialty industrial and pharmaceutical applications.
• In sunscreen and sun care products for its ability to enhance SPF efficacy and skin feel.
