| Application of Myristyl Alcohol C14-98 | Myristyl Alcohol C14-98 is a high-purity fatty alcohol widely used in personal care, cosmetics, and industrial applications due to its excellent emollient and emulsifying properties. It enhances texture, stability, and moisture retention in products like creams, lotions, shampoos, and conditioners, delivering a smooth and silky feel. In surfactant and detergent formulations, it acts as a viscosity builder and co-emulsifier, improving overall performance. Its plant-based origin, high purity, and compatibility make Myristyl Alcohol C14-98 a preferred ingredient for modern oleochemical, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical formulations. |
