Description

2-Hydroxypropane-1,3-Diyl Dimyristate is a high-purity diester of glycerol and myristic acid, valued for its excellent emollient, lubricating, and conditioning properties. This compound is a key ingredient in premium formulations requiring a non-greasy, stable, and skin-compatible lipid component. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for creating sophisticated creams, lotions, and topical delivery systems.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup products.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used as an excipient in ointments, creams, and gels to enhance texture, stability, and active ingredient delivery.
• Hair Care Products: Provides conditioning and lubricity in shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products.
• Food-Grade Lubricants & Release Agents: Employed in applications where incidental food contact is possible, due to its favorable safety profile.
• Industrial Lubricants & Plasticizers: Serves as a bio-based lubricant additive or plasticizer in specialized polymer and machinery applications.
• Research & Development: Used as a chemical intermediate or reference standard in synthetic chemistry and analytical laboratories.
