What is Myristyl?
Myristyl, also known as myristyl alcohol, is a type of saturated fatty alcohol. It is often used in the food industry as a flavoring agent, and it can also be found in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. While it is primarily derived from vegetable sources such as nut oils, it can occasionally be sourced from animal fats, making it important for vegans to verify the origin when considering dietary restrictions.
