Myristic Acid: why it is flagged

• Pore-clogging: rated 3/5 on public comedogenic lists (indicative; tested as a pure ingredient).
• Fungal acne: Fatty acids (C12-C24). Free lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic and oleic acids are directly usable fatty acids in the range Malassezia needs.

Not medical advice. These checks read the published ingredient list against public rule lists; results vary from person to person, formulas change, and ingredient lists can be incomplete. Ask a dermatologist or your doctor (and in pregnancy, your midwife or obstetrician) before relying on them.
