About Sodium Myristate:
Sodium myristate is a chemical listed as CAS 822-12-8. The chemical formula is C13H27COONA, soluble in water and some organic solvents. Myristic acid is found in the seeds of the tropical tree nutmeg. It is a saturated fatty acid in the long-chain fatty acid subgroup. It is found in most animal and vegetable fats and oils in the form of glycerides. It is found mainly in milk fat. Myristic acid, a form of hypercholesterolemia, raised LDL and HDL cholesterol levels in healthy subjects compared to oleic acid. Myristic acid delays gastric emptying. It may trigger the release of one or more hormones that delay gastric emptying. It is used as an ingredient in soaps, cosmetics and shaving creams, usually in the form of isopropyl myristic acid. It is safe as a cosmetic ingredient in current use and concentration practices. Is sodium myristate natural? It is often called a sodium salt from stearic acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid. Sodium myristate - a fatty acid that is part of a more complex group of natural lipids. TRUNNANO is a trusted global Sodium Myristate supplier.

How is Sodium Myristate Produced?
Sodium Myristate- an emulsifier, hardener and surfactant; the sodium salt of myristic acid, created when the lye reacts with myristic acid. Coconut oil and palm oil are two great sources of myristic acid.
Applications of Sodium Myristate:
Detergent: Sodium myristate has good washing properties and can be used to prepare various detergents, such as washing powder and liquid. It has good decontamination ability, can effectively remove all kinds of stains, and has good biodegradation performance, will not cause pollution to the environment.
Cosmetics: Sodium myristate is used mainly as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener in cosmetics. It can improve the stability of the products, extend the shelf life, and also improve the texture and appearance of the product. In skin care products, sodium myristate can also promote the metabolism of skin cells and improve skin texture and color.
Pharmaceutical: Sodium myristate can be used in the pharmaceutical industry to prepare drug carriers and drug additives. It can improve the stability and solubility of drugs, promote the absorption and distribution of drugs in the body, and improve the efficacy of drugs. In addition, sodium myristate can also be used to prepare drug microspheres and drug patches, providing new carrier materials for drug delivery systems.
Agriculture: Sodium myristate is used in agriculture as a plant growth regulator. It can promote the growth and development of plants, improve the resistance and disease resistance of crops, increase the yield and quality of crops. In addition, sodium myristate can be used as a compatible component of insecticides to improve the insecticidal effect.
Industry: Sodium myristate is used in industry as a lubricant, release agent, and penetrant. In the petroleum industry, it can be used as a crude oil demulsifier and lubricant to improve the handling and transportation performance of crude oil. In rubber and plastic processing, sodium myristate can be used as a lubricant and release agent to improve the processing properties and surface quality of materials.
Food: Sodium myristate is used in the food industry as a preservative, flavoring agent, and preservative. It can extend the food shelf life, prevent food spoilage, but also improve the taste and color of food. In addition, sodium myristate can also be used to make high-end candy, chocolate, and other foods to improve the quality of products.
Personal care: Sodium myristate is used primarily as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and softener in personal care products. It can improve the stability of the product, extend the shelf life, make the product more delicate and smooth, and improve the comfort of use. For example, adding sodium myristate to body washes and shampoos can improve the texture and foam properties of products.
Environmental protection: Sodium myristate can be used in the field of environmental protection for the treatment of waste oil and wastewater. It can flocculate the suspended matter and organic matter in the wastewater so that the wastewater can be purified. At the same time, sodium myristate can also be used as a biodegradant to promote the biodegradation of waste oil and wastewater and reduce environmental pollution.
Electronics and appliances: Sodium myristate is used in the electronics and appliances industry as an insulating material, cable material, and lubricant. It can improve the insulation performance and weather resistance of electronic products to ensure the safety and service life of electronic products. At the same time, sodium myristate can also be used to make cable insulation layer and cable connector protective agent, improving the transmission performance and service life of the cable.

FAQs of Sodium Myristate:
Q: What is the role of sodium laurate in skin care products?
A: Sodium laurate plays several key roles in skin care formulations: as a surfactant, it effectively removes dirt, oil and excess sebum from the skin, keeping it fresh and clean. Helps mix the oil and water phases into a stable emulsion, making skin care products easier to apply and absorb into the skin.
Q: What should I pay attention to when using Sodium Laurate to ensure safety and effectiveness?
A: If it accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a physician. Although sodium laurate is a relatively mild ingredient, excessive use may cause dryness or discomfort, so it should be added to products in the recommended dosage. For people with sensitive skin, it is recommended to perform a patch test on a small area of skin to observe any allergic reaction before using a product containing sodium laurate for the first time.
Q: What are the environmental and health effects of sodium laurate?
A: Sodium laurate is considered a low-toxicity substance and is not normally harmful to humans, but in high concentrations it may cause minor irritation of the skin or mucous membranes. This compound is readily decomposed by microorganisms and therefore has a low impact on water ecosystems, but long-term cumulative effects are still of concern. In industrial production environments, prolonged inhalation of sodium laurate dust may have adverse effects on the respiratory tract, so proper ventilation and personal protective equipment should be used to protect worker health.
Q: How to choose the right model and supplier of sodium laurate for a specific application?
A: First determine the requirements of the specific application, such as the required cleaning strength, emulsifying capacity, pH range, etc. Compare the technical specifications of different models, such as purity, melting point, solubility, etc., and select the product that best meets the project requirements. Obtain samples from potential suppliers and conduct preliminary tests in the laboratory or small-scale trials to assess whether their actual performance meets expectations.
