About Myristic Acid

Myristic Acid is an organic acid.[1] Its properties and sensory feel in the finished product may vary depending on the concentration, the other ingredients used with it, the formula's acidity, and manufacturing conditions. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water, create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and add fragrance to a product or adjust the characteristic odor of raw materials.[2]
