Magnesium Myristate (Vegan)

Why Use Magnesium Myristate?

Magnesium Myristate enhances powder binding and helps reduce crumbling in pressed products. It improves payoff and skin adhesion while creating a silky, matte finish. Its oil-absorbing properties help reduce greasiness in high-oil formulations and improve texture uniformity in pigment dispersions.

Key Benefits:

• Improves binding and pressability of loose and compact powders
• Boosts pigment adhesion and longevity
• Imparts a silky, matte skin feel
• Minimizes streaking in color cosmetics
• Helps reduce oiliness in cream-to-powder formulations
• Vegan, non-nano, and cruelty-free

Common Applications:

• Pressed powders, blushes, bronzers, and highlighters
• Eyeshadows and contour palettes
• Powder foundations and setting powders
• Cream-to-powder hybrids
• Solid lipsticks and lip balms (improves wear time)

Usage Guidelines:

• Use at 2–5% in loose or pressed powders for improved adhesion
• Use up to 10–15% in high-performance or long-wear formulas
• Blend into oil phase or pre-mix with pigments prior to dispersion
• Can be used in both anhydrous and powder-based formulations

Formulation Tips:

• Works synergistically with Magnesium Stearate or Zinc Stearate
• Use with silicone binders for silky matte finishes
• Pre-grinding with pigments enhances coverage and payoff
