Description

Myristyl Acetate CAS NO 638-59-5 is a high-purity fatty acid ester derived from myristyl alcohol and acetic acid, valued for its excellent emollient properties and stable, non-greasy texture. This versatile chemical intermediate is crucial for formulators seeking to enhance the sensory profile and performance of personal care and cosmetic products. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and specialty chemical industries for creating premium skin creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.

Application

• As a key emollient and skin-conditioning agent in facial creams, body lotions, and anti-aging serums.
• As a hair conditioning ingredient in shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks to impart softness and shine.
• As a co-emulsifier and texture enhancer in cosmetic formulations to improve spreadability and reduce greasiness.
• As a solvent and carrier for active ingredients in topical pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations.
• As a lubricant and plasticizer in specialty industrial applications and polymer processing.
• As a raw material for the synthesis of other specialty esters and surfactants.
