I don't know. I see " myrist... " and I just assume I'll break out by

the time I get to the end of the word.

Toleraine's Foaming Cleanser has potassium myristate. That doesn't

sound like a fatty acid, but I reacted to that product as I do to the

other myristates.

What is a myristyl myristate, anyway? Sounds like double trouble.
