Myristyl laurate

Myristyl laurate (CAS 22412-97-1 ), also known as tetradecyl laurate, is a fatty acid ester used across personal care, food, and industrial lubricant applications. It functions as an emollient, carrier, and lubricating agent. This versatile chemical provides essential slip and texture modification in finished formulations. In personal care, it acts as a skin-conditioning emollient and solubility enhancer for active ingredients in creams and lotions. It is frequently utilized in color cosmetics, contributing a dry, non-greasy skin feel. Industrial and metalworking lubricant formulators incorporate it as a base fluid or additive where low-residue lubrication is required. Food-grade applications include its use as a plasticizer or release agent in edible coatings and confectionery processing. It is often manufactured to meet FCC quality standards for these specific uses. As a carrier solvent, it supports the dispersion of lipophilic actives and pigments in both rinse-off and leave-on cosmetic systems. This makes it a critical component for achieving uniform product consistency. Myristyl laurate is typically supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. It is available in cosmetic, technical, and food-grade specifications to meet the diverse needs of global manufacturing sectors. Bulk supply is standard in drums and IBCs, with smaller packaging available for formulation and QA sampling purposes. This ensures flexibility for both large-scale production and laboratory development projects. Contact us for supply of Myristyl laurate Request Quote
