  • Applications

    Myreth-3 palmitate (CAS 84605-14-1) is a wax ester primarily used as an emollient and conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care formulations. It serves as a lipophilic processing aid and can help improve texture and spreadability in creams, lotions, and hair-care products. In perfumery and fragrance applications, it can function as a fragrance carrier and help dissolve or disperse aroma compounds. It is also used as a plasticizer or slip agent in certain polymer and coating formulations to aid processing and feel. In household or cleaning products, it may contribute conditioning properties and influence viscosity or glide. As with all esters, its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
