Myristyl Myristate is the ester of myristyl alcohol and myristic acid, both of which are naturally derived fatty compounds with 14 carbon atoms. It is a white, waxy solid in form. Myristyl Myristate is used primarily in cosmetics and personal care formulations as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent, where it imparts a soft, smooth feel to the skin without a heavy or greasy after-feel. It also functions as a thickening agent and texture enhancer, contributing to the body and consistency of creams, lotions, and lip care products. In addition, Myristyl Myristate is used as a lubricant and binding agent in pressed powder cosmetics and other solid formulations.
