A fatty alcohol used to thicken creams and stabilize emulsions, not a drying alcohol.
What it does
Myristyl alcohol is a fatty (long-chain) alcohol — a waxy solid, not a volatile drying alcohol. It thickens creams and lotions, gives them a smooth body, and helps keep oil and water from separating. It is an emollient and structural ingredient rather than a skin active.
