Can I use Isocetyl Myristate with Tocopherol?
Works well together
Isocetyl Myristate and Tocopherol are generally compatible and can be layered in the same routine. As always, introduce one new active at a time and watch how your skin responds.
Isocetyl MyristateEmollient
- ✓Synthetic ester of isocetyl alcohol and myristic acid with a light, non-greasy skin feel — provides a silky slip without occlusive heaviness
- ✓Good spreading properties and compatibility with active ingredients make it a useful carrier and texture modifier in emulsions
- ✓Helps solubilize lipophilic active ingredients (retinoids, tocopherols) while contributing to the skin-feel of the formula
- ⚠Ester-based emollient — comedogenicity potential is low but occasionally flagged for acne-prone skin; use-concentration dependent
