MYRISTYL ALCOHOL

About this ingredient

Myristyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol with a 14-carbon chain derived from myristic acid, functioning as an emollient and emulsion stabilizer in cosmetic formulations. It provides a smooth, conditioning feel to the skin and helps stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, making it ideal for creams, lotions, and moisturizers. This ingredient enhances skin conditioning and product texture without leaving a greasy residue.
