Cosmetic Grade Ethyl Myristate(CAS 638-59-5)
Cosmetic-grade Ethyl Myristate is a high-efficiency low-viscosity synthetic emollient widely used in high-end skin care and color cosmetic formulas. Different from traditional high-viscosity greasy greases, it has ultra-low viscosity and excellent spreadability, which can endow cosmetics with smooth and delicate application texture, avoid heavy and sticky residue, and present a dry and silky high-grade skin feel.
It has excellent skin lubricating and softening effects, can soften dry and rough stratum corneum, relieve skin tightness, and significantly improve skin smoothness and delicacy. Meanwhile, Ethyl Myristate has good solubility for various essence monomers and spice raw materials, which can assist in dissolving fragrances, optimizing formula uniformity, preventing fragrance delamination and odor deviation, and cooperating with fixatives to improve fragrance durability.
With stable physical and chemical properties, high temperature resistance and oxidation resistance, no discoloration or peculiar smell during production and long-term storage. It is mild and non-irritating to skin, does not block pores, and is suitable for all skin types including oily and sensitive skin. It is an indispensable multifunctional base raw material for pursuing light, smooth and non-greasy texture in modern cosmetics.
