Description
Octyldodecyl myristate (CAS 22766-83-2) is a fatty acid ester derived from myristic acid and octyldodecanol, supplied under trade names including Nikkol ODM 100, Wickenol 142, Exceparl OD-M, and Coster 5024. It carries no assigned E-code and is categorised within the oils, fats, and waxes chemical group.
In personal care formulations, octyldodecyl myristate functions as an emollient carrier that reduces transepidermal water loss by forming a non-occlusive barrier on skin. It also acts as a solubiliser for oil-soluble actives such as UV filters and lipophilic vitamins, improving their dispersion and skin delivery in creams, serums, and colour cosmetics.
The material is subject to REACH registration requirements for EU market supply and is commonly handled under cosmetic-grade specifications aligned with INCI and ISO 16128 frameworks. Procurement teams should confirm grade specification and packaging format directly with the supplier, as these vary by producer.
