Lauryl Myristyl Alcohol, also known as C12-14 alcohol, is a blend of lauryl alcohol (C12) and Myristyl alcohol (C14). This mixture combines the properties of both fatty alcohols and is derived from vegetable oils such as palm, palm kernel, or coconut oil.
Lauryl Myristyl Alcohol is a versatile ingredient widely used in the cosmetics, personal care, and household cleaning industries for its emulsifying, thickening, and emollient properties. It contributes significantly to the stability, texture, and performance of various products.
With its C12-14 chain length, Lauryl Myristyl Alcohol finds applications across multiple sectors, including industrial, personal care, textile, and household cleaners.
Produced industrially from palm kernel oil or coconut oil, Lauryl Myristyl Alcohol is also associated with sulfate esters of lauryl alcohol—particularly sodium lauryl sulfate - which are widely used as surfactants in shampoos. Other common surfactants include ammonium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate. Lauryl alcohol itself is tasteless and colorless, with a mild floral odor.
Lauryl Myristyl Alcohol is used in the manufacture of surfactants and detergents (anionic, nonionic, cationic), tertiary amines, fabric softeners, metalworking lubricants, disinfectants, and biocides.
This product is 100% derived from palm kernel oil or RBD coconut oil and serves as a base for fatty alcohol ethoxylates, detergents, plasticizers, lubricants, and antioxidants.
Lauryl Myristyl Alcohol C12-14 is from 100% Natural Tropical Vegetable Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil origin and Kosher certified.
