  • Applications

    Glyceryl Myristate (CAS 589-68-4) is the glycerol monoester of myristic acid and is commonly used as an emollient and conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care formulations (creams, lotions, and makeup). It can also act as a solvent or carrier for fragrance oils in perfumery. In polymer and coating applications it serves as a plasticizer and processing aid to improve flexibility and handling of formulations. In industrial manufacturing it is used as a lubricating additive to reduce friction in equipment and formulations. As a fatty ester, it may be employed in cleaning formulations to aid emulsification and texture, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
