Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name MYRISTYL MYRISTATE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Myristyl Myristate

Tetradecyl tetradecanoate is a tetradecanoate ester (myristate ester) resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of tetradecanoic acid (myristic acid) with the hydroxy group of tetradecan-1-ol (myristyl alcohol). Used as an emollient. It has a role as an algal metabolite. It is a wax ester and a tetradecanoate ester. It is functionally related to a tetradecan-1-ol. — ChEBI
