MYRISTYL MYRISTATE

Not on the EU Annex III list Rule-flagged fungal-acne trigger

MYRISTYL MYRISTATE is listed in the European Commission CosIng inventory under the functional categories Skin Conditioning - Emollient, Opacifying, Skin Conditioning, with CAS number 3234-85-3 and EC number 221-787-9. In the free INCIDB sample it appears on 2 product labels, reaching position 9 on Fresh Deodorant. Fulton (1989) grades it 5 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.
