CAS 1323-03-1: Myristyl lactate
Description:Myristyl lactate, with the CAS number 1323-03-1, is an ester formed from myristyl alcohol and lactic acid. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor, and it is known for its emollient and skin-conditioning properties, making it a popular ingredient in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Myristyl lactate is soluble in oils and organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It functions as a surfactant, emulsifier, and skin-conditioning agent, enhancing the texture and feel of products. Additionally, it can improve the spreadability of formulations and provide a silky, smooth finish on the skin. Myristyl lactate is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics, but like all substances, it should be used in accordance with regulatory guidelines and safety assessments. Its applications extend beyond cosmetics, potentially finding use in food and pharmaceutical products, although its primary use remains in the personal care industry.
