About

Myristamide Mea is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Myristamide MEA (myristamide monoethanolamine) is the ethanolamine salt of myristic acid, used as a viscosity-controlling agent and nonionic surfactant in cosmetic formulations. It is not subject to specific EU restrictions under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and is considered of low concern based on its widespread use in personal care products and metabolic profile as a common fatty acid derivative.
