MAGNESIUM MYRISTATE

Safety grade: A

Magnesium myristate is a fine powder made by combining magnesium with myristic acid, a fatty acid naturally found in some oils and fats. It's commonly used in loose powders and makeup to create a silky feel and prevent clumping.

This ingredient prevents powder products from caking or clumping, makes formulas feel smoother and more spreadable on skin, and helps create an opaque or matte appearance in cosmetics.
