Myristyl myristate

Myristyl myristate (CAS 3234-85-3 ), also known as tetradecyl tetradecanoate, is a saturated fatty acid ester derived from myristic acid and myristyl alcohol. It functions as an emollient, texture modifier, and carrier in personal care and pharmaceutical formulations. This versatile ingredient contributes a dry, non-greasy skin feel that distinguishes it from heavier ester alternatives. In skin and body care products, including lotions and creams, it improves spreadability and delivers a smooth, velvety after-feel. Color cosmetics manufacturers use it as a binder and texture agent in lipsticks, foundations, and eyeshadow compacts. In these applications, it helps control hardness and pigment dispersion while ensuring a consistent application for the end user. Solid and semi-solid pharmaceutical topical formulations incorporate it as a carrier to adjust consistency and support active ingredient delivery. It also appears in hair care products such as conditioners and styling waxes to aid slip. The material is supplied as a white to off-white waxy solid or flake. It is available in cosmetic-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications, with the latter meeting USP or Ph.Eur. standards where required by the manufacturer. Packaging typically ranges from kilogram-scale bags to bulk pallet quantities to suit both development and commercial production volumes. This ensures flexibility for companies operating at various stages of the product lifecycle. Contact us for supply of Myristyl myristate Request Quote
