Stearyl myristate

Description:
Stearyl myristate is an ester formed from the reaction of stearyl alcohol and myristic acid. It is a colorless to pale yellow, viscous liquid or semi-solid at room temperature, characterized by its fatty, waxy odor. This compound is primarily used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations due to its emollient properties, which help to soften and smooth the skin. Stearyl myristate acts as a skin-conditioning agent, providing a barrier that helps to retain moisture. It is also utilized as a thickening agent and emulsifier in various products, enhancing texture and stability. The substance is generally considered safe for use in topical applications, although it is essential to conduct patch tests for potential allergic reactions. In terms of solubility, stearyl myristate is lipophilic, meaning it dissolves well in oils and fats but has limited solubility in water. Its chemical structure contributes to its effectiveness in formulations aimed at improving skin feel and product performance.
