Harm score: 3 (Harmless chemicals)
Octyldodecyl Myristate, which is also known as 2-Octyldodecyl Myristate, is a synthetic substance produced from myristic acid and octyldodecanol. This chemical is referred to as an ester and is often used in the cosmetic industry for its many nurturing and conditioning properties. Octyldodecyl Myristate is a colourless liquid with a pleasant smell, it is fibrous and oily to the touch. It is these properties that make it suitable for use in many products.
Octyldodecyl Myristate is often used in cosmetics as an emulsion substance and emollient. That is, it is a substance that softens and emollients the skin. Thanks to this ability, Octyldodecyl Myristate is contained in many moisturizers, skin creams, body lotions, as well as various types of make-up, such as lipsticks or concealers. In addition to cosmetic products, Octyldodecyl Myristate is also used in industry, for example in the manufacture of soaps and shampoos, where it acts as a softener to improve the texture and foaminess of the product. It is important to note that although esters are generally considered safe for human skin, people with sensitive skin should be careful as they can cause irritation.
