Description

Isodecyl Myristate is a high-purity, synthetic ester derived from myristic acid and isodecyl alcohol. This versatile emollient and solvent is prized for its excellent skin feel, low viscosity, and superior oxidative stability, making it a valuable ingredient for high-performance formulations. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty lubricants industries seeking a non-greasy, non-irritating base fluid with exceptional spreading properties.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a premium emollient and solvent in skin creams, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup, providing a smooth, dry, and non-greasy after-feel.
• Hair Care Products: Used in conditioners, hair serums, and styling products to impart shine, reduce frizz, and improve combability without heavy residue.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Serves as a carrier or penetration enhancer in ointments, gels, and transdermal drug delivery systems.
• Specialty Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a low-volatility base oil or additive in synthetic lubricants, mold release agents, and textile fiber finishes.
• Plasticizer & Polymer Additive: Employed as a secondary plasticizer or processing aid to improve the flexibility and low-temperature performance of certain polymers and elastomers.
• Industrial Solvent & Carrier: Utilized as a solvent for resins, dyes, and pigments in high-performance coatings and inks.
