About

Dihydroxypropyl Myristamine is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This ingredient is formed by the reaction of propylene oxide with myristylamine (derived from myristic acid, a 14-carbon saturated fatty acid). It functions as a conditioning agent with excellent skin compatibility. The myristyl chain provides emollient properties while the hydroxyl groups enhance water binding. Myristic acid derivatives have long histories of safe use in cosmetics. No EU restrictions apply.
