Cetyl myristate

Description:

Cetyl myristate is an ester formed from cetyl alcohol and myristic acid, characterized by its waxy, solid appearance at room temperature. It is commonly used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations due to its emollient properties, providing a smooth texture and enhancing the spreadability of products. Cetyl myristate acts as a thickening agent and stabilizer, helping to improve the consistency and stability of creams and lotions. It is also known for its ability to form a protective barrier on the skin, which can help retain moisture. This compound is generally considered safe for use in topical applications, although individual sensitivities may vary. In addition to its cosmetic applications, cetyl myristate may also be utilized in food and industrial products as a lubricant or emulsifier. Its chemical structure contributes to its hydrophobic nature, making it effective in formulations that require water resistance. Overall, cetyl myristate is valued for its multifunctional properties in various industries.
