Myristyl Myristate is a 100% natural vegetable derived ester utilizing only the Myristic fatty acids. This combination of myristyl alcohol and myristic acid results in superior whitening to the product and improved benefits to the skin.
Myristyl Myristate is used as a co-emulsifier for it’s emulsion stabilizing benefits. The combination of fatty alcohol and fatty acids thickens emulsions and improves stability making the emulsion much more stable to temperature variations and higher oil and butter levels. The perfect choice when you’ve created your emulsion and it’s just on the verge of de-stabilizing. This will be apparent through an appearance of oil or air in your product. Rather than increasing your emulsifier which would also stiffen your product, in most cases, a co-emulsifier is used to improve the overall emulsion stability while delivering additional benefits not offered through increased emulsifiers.
Miristil Miristat is also used to improve the aesthetics of emulsions. This is a good choice when your emulsion has an unpleasant color or dullness. Just the addition of Myristyl Myristate can take your emulsion from grey to bright white while giving it a smooth glossy appearance.
Myristyl Myristate is most commonly used to improve the performance of emulsions. Being base on fatty acids it delivers skin conditioning benefits and improved moisture retention. Myristyl Myristate will also impart a very pleasant soft powdery feel on the skin. This is a great addition to your formulas when your final product does not deliver a nice feel on the skin or leaves the skin feeling too greasy. By adding Myristyl Myristate you can keep your oil and butter levels higher and still avoid the unpleasant greasiness.
Myristyl Myristate offers an easy way to create lotions and creams with a silky, rich feel and a dry powdery feel. Especially suitable for those products with a high butter content when the oily effect is undesirable. Functioning as both a co-emulsifier and an opacifier it’s an easy way to improve the visual appeal of your product while at the same time improving on the feel of the product on the skin.

What is Myristyl myristate?
Myristyl myristate is an ester derived by reacting Myristic acid and Myristyl alcohol. Myristic acid a saturated fatty acid which occurs naturally in nutmeg oil, coconut oil, and palm kernel oil. Myristyl alcohol is saturated fatty alcohol. It is white flakes/ pastille with a fatty odor.
Use & Benefits:
Myristyl myristate has many functions in cosmetic products.
Myristyl myristate functions as an emollient in products like creams, lotions and hair care products.
When applied myristyl myristate forms a protective film on the skin and forms a barrier protecting against damage caused by external factors like dirt and microbes.
Myristyl myristate also reduces the loss of moisture from the skin and also hair and keep them well hydrated. Myristyl myristate is also useful as a texture enhancer in skin products. When used it gets nicely spread on the skin surface, gives it a soft and waxy feel. It increases the spreading ability of the product, reduces the watery feel of lotions and creams. Its emulsifying properties prevent the oil and water-based components of the product from getting separated. It is suitable for use over a wide range of pH values and compatible with cationic, anionic and non-ionic surfactants too. It is used in products like soaps, creams, lotions, hair conditioners, and shaving creams.

Myristyl Myristate is the ester of myristyl alcohol and myristic acid
Myristyl Myristate is produced by the esterification of myristic acid and myristyl alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst.
The product is stripped to remove excess myristyl alcohol, alkali is used to neutralize the catalyst, and then purified to separate Myristyl Myristate.
