  • Applications

    Tridecyl Myristate (CAS 36617-27-3) is a fatty acid ester commonly used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent, providing slip, spreadability and a lightweight feel in lotions, creams, and lip products. It also serves as a solvent and carrier for fragrance oils in perfumery and can act as a processing aid or plasticizer in certain polymers and coatings. In household and cleaning formulations it can function as a solvent and slip agent to improve application and aesthetics. It may also be evaluated as an excipient or lubricating vehicle in pharmaceutical topical products, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
