So, what is myristyleicosyl stearate?

Myristyleicosyl stearate is a natural emollient and thickening agent commonly used in the cosmetic and personal care industry. It is derived from a combination of myristic and stearic acids, along with a long-chain fatty alcohol known as eicosanol. This unique ingredient is known for its ability to improve the texture and consistency of lotions, creams, and other skincare products, while also providing moisturizing and softening benefits to the skin. Its non-greasy, silky feel makes it a popular ingredient in many high-end skincare products, providing a luxurious and velvety finish to the skin.
