  • Applications

    Pentyl myristate is a waxy ester used primarily as an emollient and solvent in cosmetics and personal care, providing a light, skin-conditioning feel and improving product rheology; it is also used as a carrier and/or fragrance fixative in perfumery and fragrance formulations; in household cleaning products it acts as a solvent and texture modifier, helping dissolve lipophilic ingredients and enhance ease of use; in polymers and coatings, it can function as a plasticizer or lubricant for plastics and coatings; and in topical pharmaceutical dosage forms, it may be used as an excipient/vehicle for lipophilic active ingredients.
