Myristic acid (IUPAC name: tetradecanoic acid) is a common saturated fatty acid with the molecular formula CH 3 (CH 2) 12 COOH. Its salts and esters are commonly referred to as myristates or tetradecanoates. The name of the acyl group derived from myristic acid is myristoyl or tetradecanoyl.
Myristyl aldehyde, also known as tetradecanal, is a reduced form of myristic acid. It is naturally produced by bioluminescent bacteria of the Vibrio genus and is one of two substrates produced and consumed by the Vibrio fischeri luciferase light emission system.
Myristoleic acid, or 9-tetradecenoic acid, is an omega-5 fatty acid. It is biosynthesized from myristic acid by the enzyme Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1, but it is uncommon in nature. [1] One of the major sources of this fatty acid is the seed oil from plants of the family Myristicaceae, comprising up to 30 per cent of the oil in some species. [2]
A rating system can be any kind of rating applied to a certain application domain. They are often created using a rating scale. Examples include:
Isopropyl myristate is a polar emollient and is used in cosmetic and topical pharmaceutical preparations where skin absorption is desired. It is also used as a treatment for head lice. [2]

Saponification is a process of cleaving esters into carboxylate salts and alcohols by the action of aqueous alkali.Typically aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions are used. [1] [2] It is an important type of alkaline hydrolysis.
Ethylhexylglycerin, or octoxyglycerin, is a glyceryl ether that is commonly used as part of a preservative system in cosmetic preparations. [1] References
