description Product Description
Myristic acid is widely used in the production of cosmetics and personal care products due to its emollient properties, helping to soften and smooth the skin. It serves as a key ingredient in the formulation of soaps, shampoos, and creams, where it acts as a surfactant and stabilizer. In the food industry, it is utilized as a flavoring agent and as a component in food additives, enhancing texture and shelf life. Additionally, myristic acid is employed in the synthesis of esters, which are used in lubricants and plasticizers. Its antimicrobial properties also make it valuable in certain pharmaceutical applications.
