Myristates are salts/esters of myristic acid (tetradecanoic acid) of a monocarboxylic acid.
Magnesium myristates are used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an opacifier (clouds the transparency and translucency of cosmetic products), viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products) and anti-caking agent (prevents the caking of cosmetic powders).
