Myristyl Lactate
Can worsen Oily Skin
These ingredients are known to potentially contribute to excess oil or shine, but they don't affect everyone the same way. Skin can be oily for many reasons, so it's always a good idea to consider your unique skin needs when choosing products.
May cause Acne
These ingredients have a higher likelihood of clogging pores or triggering breakouts, especially for acne-prone skin. However, skin reactions are individual - what causes breakouts for one person may work fine for another. Patch test if you're concerned.
Explained
Myristyl lactate is created from myristyl alcohol and lactic acid.
It is an emollient and keeps the skin hydrated by trapping moisture. However, this may worsen oily skin and cause breakouts.
