How we scored it

Decaglycerol (glycerin condensation) esterified with myristic acid (C14 oleochemical fatty acid), losing only water. Both fragments natural. 1.0.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.

Where it comes from

Made by condensing glycerin into decaglycerol and esterifying it with myristic acid, usually from coconut oil fractionation. Oleochemical supplier sourcing is assumed for the fatty acid.

In plain English

A skin-conditioning ingredient that softens and smooths skin. It's made from glycerin linked into a chain and combined with myristic acid, a fatty acid typically from coconut oil.

CosIng definition: 1,2,3-Propanetriol, homopolymer, tetradecanoates (1:1) (10 mol glycerol average molar ratio)
