About Methyl Laurate/Myristate
Methyl Laurate/Myristate is an ester in which portions derived from an acid and an alcohol are joined.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, to leave the skin’s surface feeling soft and smooth, and to dissolve other raw materials to create a uniform formula.[1] It is also used to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[1]
