What is it?

Myristyl Myristate is an ester derived from myristyl alcohol and myristic acid, both of which are fatty acids.

Information

Myristyl Myristate is an ester derived from myristyl alcohol and myristic acid, both of which are fatty acids. It is commonly used in skincare products as an emollient, thickening agent, and skin-conditioning ingredient, helping to improve the texture, spreadability, and moisture retention of formulations.

Where does it come from?

Myristyl Myristate is obtained by combining myristyl alcohol, which is derived from coconut oil, and myristic acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid found in nutmeg, coconut oil, and palm oil. The result is a waxy, solid ester that melts upon skin contact, providing a smooth and velvety feel.
