  • Applications

    Oleyl Myristate (CAS 22393-93-7) is commonly used as an emollient and conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care formulations, providing slip and a smooth skin and hair feel. It also serves as a solvent and carrier for fragrance oils and cosmetic actives, aiding fragrance delivery and formulation stability. In addition, it acts as a texture enhancer and slip modifier in creams and lotions, improving spreadability. The ester can function as a plasticizer and processing aid in polymers and coatings, imparting flexibility. It is often used as a non-volatile excipient/vehicle for topical actives in pharmaceutical or cosmetic formulations, serving as a carrier to dissolve or suspend ingredients.
