It is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products as a thickener, emollient, and lubricant. Its lightweight and non-greasy texture makes it an ideal ingredient for skincare products such as lotions, creams, and serums. Isodecyl myristate helps to smooth and soften the skin, while also improving the overall texture and appearance. Its unique chemical properties make it a popular choice among cosmetic formulators for its versatility and effectiveness.
