MYRISTYL MYRISTATE
Myristyl Myristate is a vegetable-based emulsifier and a waxy fatty acid ester. As a consistency agent, it contributes to the stabilization of oil-in-water emulsions and helps to improve the texture of the formulation by creating a smooth and supple consistency. This makes the emulsion easier to apply, improves absorption on the skin and creates a silky, powdery skin feel.
