使用

myristyl myristate is an occlusive skin-conditioning agent that enhances product spreadability and can reduce a product’s transparency. It is particularly useful in emulsions that have to “melt” once they come in contact with the skin. This is an ester formed by the combination of the myristyl alcohol and myristic acid fractions of coconut oil.

使用

Myristate myristate is able to be used as a wax base in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. It is a soft wax that melts at body temperature, so it gives a velvety texture when applied to the skin. It can be added to some soaps, and excess myristic acid can produce pearl effects. At lower concentrations, it improves the spreadability of lotion cosmetics. It reduces the feeling of water in hand and body lotions.
