Dextrin Myristate

Dextrin Myristate is an ester derived from myristic acid and dextrin. It is primarily used in cosmetic formulations as an emollient and texturizing agent. It helps to improve the texture and feel of skin care products while providing a smooth, non-greasy emollient effect on the skin. It enhances the spreadability of products and helps in maintaining skin hydration by forming a protective barrier on the skin's surface.
