  • Applications

    Myreth-3 myristate (CAS 59686-68-9) is a fatty ester commonly used as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care formulations, providing slip and a soft feel in creams, lotions, and lip-care products. It may be used as a pharmaceutical topical excipient or solvent/vehicle for active ingredients in dermal formulations. In industrial manufacturing, it can serve as a plasticizer and processing aid for polymers, coatings, and inks, improving flexibility and handling. In perfumery and fragrance applications, it can act as a carrier medium for fragrance oils and provide a stable, oil-like medium. It also finds use in household cleaning formulations as an emollient additive to enhance slip and impart conditioning properties, and in paints, coatings, and adhesives as a lubricant/processing aid to improve application.
