Cetyl Myristate and the Gluten Free Diet

Cetyl Myristate is a chemical compound that is a type of ester formed from myristic acid and cetyl alcohol.

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.
