Description

Dextrin Myristate is a carbohydrate-based ester derived from dextrin and myristic acid, functioning as a versatile non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. This compound is valued for its ability to stabilize formulations, improve texture, and enhance the solubility of active ingredients. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking natural-derived, mild, and effective functional additives.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing stable oil-in-water emulsions.
• Skin Care Products: Used for its mildness and skin-conditioning properties in moisturizers, serums, and anti-aging treatments.
• Hair Care Products: Functions as a conditioning agent and emulsifier in shampoos, conditioners, and styling products to improve manageability and feel.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Employed as an excipient in ointments, gels, and medicated creams to enhance drug delivery and formulation stability.
• Food-Grade Applications: Potential use as an emulsifier or texturizer in certain food products, subject to specific regulatory compliance and grade availability.
• Industrial Applications: Serves as a biodegradable surfactant in specialty cleaning formulations and agrochemical adjuvants.

Quality Control

Our Dextrin Myristate is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as esterification degree, residual solvents, and microbiological limits is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
