Myristic Acid C14-99 - High-Purity Vegetable-Origin Fatty Acid

Myristic Acid C14-99 is a high-purity saturated fatty acid used across personal care, cosmetics, soaps and specialty chemical manufacturing. Chemically known as Tetradecanoic Acid, it contains fourteen carbon atoms and has the molecular formula C₁₄H₂₈O₂.

Commercial high-purity Myristic Acid can be obtained by fractionating fatty acids produced from lauric vegetable oils, particularly palm-kernel and coconut oils. Repeated purification allows manufacturers to produce grades containing approximately 99% C14 fatty acid.

Myristic Acid has recognized cleansing and emulsifying functionality in cosmetics and is also used as an important feedstock for soaps, specialty surfactants and cosmetic esters. High-purity C14 material is particularly valuable when downstream manufacturers require tightly controlled fatty-acid composition.

Beyond cosmetics, Myristic Acid is used in derivative manufacturing for esters, fatty alcohols, metallic soaps, fatty amines and specialty chemicals. Suitable documented grades can also be supplied for food, flavour, fragrance and pharmaceutical-related applications.
