| Uses | Myristyl myristate, is one of the more used waxy esters in cosmetic formulations due to its emollient properties. |
| Uses | myristyl myristate is an occlusive skin-conditioning agent that enhances product spreadability and can reduce a product’s transparency. It is particularly useful in emulsions that have to “melt” once they come in contact with the skin. This is an ester formed by the combination of the myristyl alcohol and myristic acid fractions of coconut oil. |
| Definition | ChEBI: Tetradecyl tetradecanoate is a tetradecanoate ester (myristate ester) resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of tetradecanoic acid (myristic acid) with the hydroxy group of tetradecan-1-ol (myristyl alcohol). Used as an emollient. It has a role as an algal metabolite. It is a wax ester and a tetradecanoate ester. It is functionally related to a tetradecan-1-ol. |
