About Cetyl Myristate
Cetyl Myristate is the ester of cetyl alcohol and myristic acid.[1] The moisturized feel and spreadability of a finished product containing Cetyl Myristate may vary depending on the use concentration and the combination of moisturizing and emollient ingredients used with it. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, and to leave the skin’s surface soft and smooth.[2]
