Product Description

Myristic Acid

Myristic Acid is a saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula C₁₄H₂₈O₂. It occurs naturally in various plant and animal fats, such as coconut oil, palm kernel oil, and butter. In cosmetics, it appears as a white crystalline solid or powder with a faint fatty odor. As a versatile ingredient, it acts as an emulsifier, surfactant, and emollient, contributing to the texture, stability, and cleansing properties of formulations.

Discover the transformative power of Myristic Acid in your skincare formulations. This versatile fatty acid acts as a powerful cleansing agent and emollient, gently removing impurities while maintaining skin's natural moisture barrier. Our premium-grade Myristic Acid is ideal for soaps, cleansers, and moisturizers, where it enhances lather, improves texture, and promotes softer, smoother skin.

As a key component in many high-performance cosmetics, Myristic Acid helps stabilize formulations while delivering deep yet gentle cleansing.
