MYRISTIC ACID

Myristic Acid is the organic acid that conforms generally to the formula

MYRISTIC ACID is listed in the European Commission CosIng inventory under the functional categories Perfuming, Fragrance, Opacifying, Surfactant - Cleansing, with CAS number 544-63-8 and EC number 208-875-2. In the free INCIDB sample it appears on 3 product labels, reaching position 4 on Nature In A Jar Gentle Detoxifying Cleanser With Agave. Fulton (1989) grades it 3 on the 0–5 comedogenicity scale; that grade is transcribed as-is and is the only rating source used. INCIDB's rule-derived heuristic flags it as a possible Malassezia (fungal-acne) trigger. That is a rule, not a measurement — treat it as a filter rather than a finding.
