Cetyl Myristate and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Cetyl Myristate is a chemical compound that is a type of ester formed from myristic acid and cetyl alcohol. It is primarily found in cosmetic and personal care products due to its emollient properties, which help to soften and smooth the skin. Although it can be derived from animal sources, it is often synthesized using plant-based materials in vegan formulations. It is not commonly used as a food ingredient.
