Description
Myristyl Myristate – Teutonic Texture and Velvet Sensation
Myristyl Myristate is a natural ester obtained through sustainable biotechnological processes, which redefines the sensoriality of care products. Unlike hard waxes, it melts at skin temperature, offering emulsions a rich and creamy consistency without leaving a greasy or occlusive feel. It is the preferred ingredient to transform a simple emulsion into a truly good cream, leaving behind a powdery finish and velvety skin.
Ingredients (INCI): Myristyl Myristate.

- Solubility: Soluble in oils and esters when heated.
- Technology: Produced through an eco-efficient enzymatic process, using renewable energy.
- Quality: 100% natural origin, derived from renewable sources, suitable for natural and organic cosmetics.
Main Properties

ideal for body butter, creams more unctuous and creamy but not very greasy on the skin, I am satisfied with it
I use this product with most of my more consistent creams. The difference from cetyl or cetearyl is that it gives lighter and less whitish textures on application. It can be combined with any emulsifier ,I have for example replaced some of the olliva or substituted some of the vegetable butters and got great results. I recommend!
