About Sodium Myristate

Sodium Myristate is the sodium salt of myristic acid.[1] Its solubility and charge state vary depending on the components forming the salt and the formula’s acidity, which also affects how it interacts with other ingredients. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water, to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
