Glyceryl Myristate

Glyceryl myristate is an ester of glycerin and myristic acid, a fatty acid. It functions as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin, and can also act as an emulsifier, aiding in the mixing of oil and water in cosmetic formulations. It contributes to the overall texture and feel of products.
