:Benzyl myristate
Description:
Benzyl myristate is an ester derived from myristic acid and benzyl alcohol, characterized by its chemical formula C17H34O2. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, pleasant odor. This compound is known for its emollient properties, making it a common ingredient in cosmetic and personal care formulations, where it serves as a skin-conditioning agent and solvent. Benzyl myristate is also utilized in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in topical formulations, due to its ability to enhance the absorption of active ingredients through the skin. It has a relatively low toxicity profile, but like many esters, it can cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals. Additionally, it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. As with any chemical substance, proper handling and safety precautions should be observed to minimize exposure and potential adverse effects.
