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, which can contribute to the texture, spreadability, and moisture profile 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.

What are the benefits?

SOFTENING ENHANCING PROTECTING

What are the benefits?

  • Protecting: It is an emollient that can create a protective barrier on the skin to lock in moisture and minimize dehydration.
  • Stability: Contributes to the texture, stability, and spreadability of skincare products, making them easier to apply and absorb.
  • Softening: Contributes to skin softness and smoothness, giving a velvety and luxurious feel.
  • Natural: Provides a natural, non-greasy finish, making it suitable for a variety of skincare products.

How is it used in our products?
