Description

Sucrose Tetramyristate CAS NO 94139-17-0 is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from sucrose and myristic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying properties, biodegradability, and mildness, making it a preferred ingredient in formulations requiring high performance and safety. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for creating stable, skin-friendly emulsions and delivery systems.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Emulsions: Acts as a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing stable oil-in-water systems with a luxurious feel.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used in the formulation of medicated creams, ointments, and transdermal patches to enhance drug solubility and skin penetration.
• Food-Grade Emulsifiers: Suitable for food additive applications where a sucrose ester-based emulsifier is required, though specific grade compliance must be verified.
• Biodegradable Detergents & Cleaners: Serves as a surfactant in eco-friendly cleaning products and industrial degreasers.
• Lipid-Based Drug Delivery Systems: A key component in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanoemulsions for targeted and controlled release formulations.
• Skin Barrier Repair Formulations: Incorporated into products designed to restore and protect the skin's natural lipid barrier.

Quality Control

Our Sucrose Tetramyristate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to rigorous analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided with every shipment. We can supply material compliant with relevant standards for cosmetic (ISO 22716) and pharmaceutical (cGMP) applications upon request.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and performance.
