Myristyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol used as an emollient in cosmetics and skin care products also serve as a basic component and solubility aid in metalworking fluids. Contact sensitization to myristyl alcohol has been reported, mostly in case reports or small test series, in patients with contact dermatitis due to cosmetics or medical ointments. 1-Tetradecanol may be prepared by the hydrogenation of myristic acid (or its esters); myristic acid itself can be found in nutmeg (from where it gains its name) but is also present in palm kernel oil and coconut oil and it is from these that the majority of Myristyl Alcohol is produced. Myristyl Alcohol may also be produced from petrochemical feedstocks via either the Ziegler process or hydroformylation.
