Myristyl Myristate

Elevate your DIY skincare and cosmetic formulations with Myristyl Myristate, a luxurious, plant-derived solid emollient that's a must-have for creating high-end creams, lotions, balms, and hair products. This versatile ester of myristyl alcohol and myristic acid melts gently at body temperature (around 38°C), delivering a smooth, non-greasy application that enhances spreadability and leaves skin feeling velvety soft with a subtle, protective waxy finish. Perfect for thickening oil-in-water emulsions, it adds rich body and luxurious texture while acting as a natural barrier to lock in moisture, reduce transepidermal water loss, and shield against environmental stressors like dust and pollutants—all without any heavy or oily residue.

Ideal for both beginner and experienced formulators, Myristyl Myristate boosts the overall sensory experience of your products, making them glide effortlessly, feel more indulgent, and perform like premium store-bought options. Use it as a co-emulsifier, superfatting agent in soaps, lubricant in shaving creams, or conditioning boost in hair care for noticeably softer, more hydrated results. Cosmetic-grade, vegan-friendly, and compatible with a wide range of ingredients, it's the secret to achieving that professional, silky-smooth payoff in pressed powders, body butters, face creams, and beyond.
