About

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

Myristamidobutyl guanidine acetate is a guanidine derivative used in cosmetic formulations for its antimicrobial properties. Like other guanidine-type compounds, it may present sensitization potential upon prolonged or repeated exposure. It is not listed on EU Annexes I–VI with specific restrictions, but like many cationic/antimicrobial ingredients it requires careful evaluation of use concentration and exposure pattern.
