Magnesium Myristate is a salt of magnesium and myristic acid (a fatty acid found naturally in palm and coconut oil). The texture of Magnesium Myristate is surprisingly creamy, as it has a wonderful, rich gliding quality when rubbed between the fingers. Magnesium Myristate adds both velvety and adhesion to our color cosmetics - more so than magnesium stearate, making it ideal for eyeliner, makeup and also blush. It can also be used as a binder when pressing powders.
