Myristyl palmitate

Description:
Myristyl palmitate, with the CAS number 4536-26-9, is an ester formed from myristyl alcohol and palmitic 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 palmitate acts as a skin-conditioning agent, providing a protective barrier that enhances moisture retention. It is also utilized as a thickening agent and emulsifier in various formulations, contributing to the stability and texture of creams and lotions. In terms of solubility, it is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as oils and alcohols. Safety assessments indicate that myristyl palmitate is considered safe for use in cosmetic products, although, like all substances, it should be used in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Overall, its favorable properties make it a valuable ingredient in the formulation of skin and hair care products.
