Summary

Emollient Skin Conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

As an alkyl ester, Tetradecyloctadecyl Myristate is presumed to function as an emollient. It would likely contribute to skin softness and smoothness by forming a surface film that helps to reduce transepidermal water loss, thus supporting the skin's barrier function.
