  • Applications

    Isodecyl myristate (CAS 51473-24-6) is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care as a lightweight, non-greasy emollient that provides slip and aids the delivery of active ingredients; in perfumery and fragrance applications it serves as a solvent and carrier for aroma compounds, helping to evenly distribute fragrances in formulations; it can be found in household products as a conditioning base and solvent for fragrance actives; and it may be used as a processing aid or plasticizer in certain polymers or coatings, depending on formulation needs and regulatory constraints. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
