Myristyl Alcohol
Industrial Applications
Myristyl Alcohol is widely used in the personal care and cosmetics industry as an emollient, thickening agent, and stabilizer. It is commonly incorporated into lotions, creams, hair conditioners, shampoos, and other hair and skin care products to enhance texture, provide moisturizing properties, and improve product stability. Its fatty alcohol properties also make it useful in industrial applications such as surfactants, lubricants, and formulations requiring controlled viscosity.
Physical Properties
Myristyl Alcohol is a white crystalline solid at room temperature. It is virtually insoluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, and soluble in diethyl ether. The compound is chemically stable under normal conditions, has low volatility, and exhibits low toxicity. Its waxy solid form and compatibility with oils and other fatty ingredients make it ideal for emulsion-based formulations in personal care and industrial products.
