  C10-18 Triglycerides
  
  Brassica glycerides

  Cetyl palmitate

  Myristyl Myristate
  
  I am trying to select the least occlusive of these for my emulsified deo.

  What is the difference between INCI “xxxx oil” and “xxxx glycerides”? What chemical modification happened? And what is the point of this modification?

  Occlusiveness depends on concentration, structure of the formula & other ingredients, so your question is not easily answered.

  If your question is which of the listed ingredients feel subjectively more waxy then myristyl myristate and cetyl palmitate would feel more ‘waxy’ at 3% concentration in o/w emulsion with 10% oil than C10-18. Source: my anecdotal opinion based on my kitchen tests of all three (and a couple of others). Having said that everyone’s perception is different
