Myristyl alcohol or tetradecanol is an alcohol with a long linear aliphatic chain, of natural origin, obtained from nutmeg (from which it takes its name) and from oils such as palm or coconut oil. It occurs as a white crystalline solid; insoluble in water, soluble in diethyl ether and slightly soluble in ethanol. It is used in cosmetic formulations for its emollient power, especially in products such as creams, balms and body and hair masks. Furthermore, it has thickening properties and improves the stability and conservation of emulsions. Safe ingredient
