  • Applications

    Octyldodecyl myristate, CAS 22766-83-2, is primarily used as an emollient in cosmetics and personal care, providing skin conditioning, slip, and a light feel. It also serves as a solvent or carrier for fragrance oils in perfumery and as a vehicle for active ingredients in formulations. In polymers and coatings, it can function as a plasticizer and processing aid to improve flexibility and processability. In household and industrial products, it is used as a solvent and carrier to dissolve lipophilic residues and broaden formulation compatibility. In pharmaceutical contexts, it may be used as an excipient or topical vehicle in topical formulations. In some industrial manufacturing contexts it acts as a lubricity additive or formulation aid. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
