DESCRIPTION OF MYRISTIC ACID


Myristic acid is a saturated fatty acid derived from natural sources like nutmeg, palm oil, and coconut oil. In cosmetics, it serves multiple roles: as a surfactant, it helps in the effective removal of dirt and oils from the skin; as an emulsifier, it stabilizes and blends formulations for a smooth consistency; and as a moisturizer, it helps retain skin moisture, leaving it soft and hydrated. Additionally, myristic acid enhances the absorption of other active ingredients, improving the overall efficacy of cosmetic products. Its versatility makes it a common ingredient in cleansers, lotions, creams, and other personal care products.

  • Moisturizing Component: Myristic acid aids in retaining moisture within the skin, enhancing hydration and softness, which is beneficial in moisturizers and hydrating serums.
