About Propylene Glycol Myristate

Propylene Glycol Myristate is an ester of propylene glycol and myristic acid.[1] The moisturization and spreadability of a finished product containing Propylene Glycol Myristate may vary depending on the use level and the combination of moisturizing and emollient ingredients used with it. In cosmetics, it is used to leave the skin surface feeling soft and smooth and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
