Sodium myristate, alias: sodium tetradecanoate. The main functions of sodium myristate in cosmetics and skin care products are surfactants, cleansers, and emulsifiers. The risk factor is 2, which is relatively safe and can be used with confidence. Generally, it has no effect on pregnant women. Sodium myristate is not acne-causing. Sodium myristate has good emulsifying properties and can be dissolved in water or ethanol. It is often prepared by saponification with sodium laurate. It is also used together when used. It is the main component of soap and has a good cleaning effect.
Surfactants are used more and more widely in systems that come into contact with the human body, such as drugs, food, cosmetics and personal hygiene products. With the improvement of human living standards, people are exposed to the toxic and side effects of various surfactants in formulas that come into contact with the human body. Invest more and more attention. For different purposes, the focus on surfactants is mainly focused on mucosal irritation, skin sensitization, toxicity, hereditary, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity and hemolysis, digestion and absorption, biodegradability, etc. aspect.
For example, for cosmetics, the principle of selecting ingredients in the past was mainly for dressing up. The selection of surfactants only considered how to achieve the best first or main effect, such as washing, foaming, emulsification, dispersion, etc.; second consideration When it comes to exerting its secondary function or auxiliary function, little or no consideration is given to the effect of surfactants on the natural state of skin and hair. At present, the selection principle of surfactants gradually tends to meet the precondition of protecting the normal and healthy state of skin and hair, and producing as few toxic and side effects as possible on the human body, before considering how to play the best role of surfactants. Efficacy and auxiliary effects.
