Cetyl myristoleate

Cetyl myristoleate (CMO) is a fatty acid ester formed from cetyl alcohol and myristoleic acid, a monounsaturated fourteen-carbon fatty acid. Nustras supplies it as a lipid raw material for the supplement and topical-product sectors, as the ester itself or as a powdered form on a carrier.

Cetyl myristoleate is formulated into softgel capsules, tablets and powdered supplements, and into topical creams, lotions and balms as a lipid ingredient, alone or alongside other cetylated fatty acid esters.

The material ranges from a pale yellow to amber oily liquid to a soft waxy solid, depending on temperature; CAS number 64660-84-0, molecular formula C30H58O2, molecular weight 450.8. Ester content, acid value, saponification value and iodine value are standardised to specification; identity and assay are confirmed by gas chromatography, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies cetyl myristoleate in bulk commercial quantities, in sealed drums and pails, or in lined fibre drums for powder grades, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Cetyl myristoleate is marketed as a supplement and cosmetic ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm its regulatory status, permitted use and claim for their application.
