About

Ethyl Myristate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Ethyl myristate is a fatty acid ester derived from natural myristic acid (found in coconut and palm oil) used as an emollient, fragrance, and plasticizer in cosmetic formulations. It exhibits very low acute toxicity, is not a skin sensitizer, and is not restricted in EU cosmetic regulation. While it has a low comedogenic rating, individuals with very acne-prone skin may wish to patch-test products containing this ingredient.

Skin benefits

  • emollient that softens and smooths skin
  • low comedogenic rating
  • reinforces skin barrier function
