Myristyl stearate

Description:
Myristyl stearate, with the CAS number 17661-50-6, is an ester formed from myristyl alcohol and stearic acid. It is a colorless to pale yellow, waxy solid at room temperature, exhibiting a mild, fatty odor. This compound is primarily used in cosmetic and personal care formulations due to its emollient properties, which help to soften and smooth the skin. Myristyl stearate acts as a surfactant and emulsifier, facilitating the mixing of oil and water phases in products such as creams, lotions, and ointments. Additionally, it can enhance the texture and spreadability of formulations. In terms of solubility, it is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and oils. Myristyl stearate is considered safe for use in cosmetics, although, like many substances, it may cause irritation in sensitive individuals. Its stability and compatibility with various ingredients make it a valuable component in the formulation of various personal care products.
