Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount. Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate is derived from cetearyl alcohol and sorbic acid. It is an emollient and helps hydrate the skin. Emollients form a barrier on the skin to prevent water from escaping. Isopropyl Myristate is an ester made by combining isopropyl alcohol with myristic acid. It is primarily an emollient and penetration enhancer that gives products a lightweight, silky feel without the heaviness of oils. This ingredient is generally considered non-toxic, non-irritating, and has low absorption potential. You might have heard that this ingredient clogs pores. This reputation comes from the older rabbit ear studies which are more sensitive than human skin to clogging. Dermatologist Dr. Zoe Draelos has also confirmed in a peer-reviewed paper that products containing comedogenic ingredients are not necessarily comedogenic themselves. A small subset of people (~2%) may experience contact sensitivity so patch testing is a reasonable idea if you have reactive skin. Since this ingredient is an ester of myristic acid (a C14 fatty acid), it falls within the carbon chain range that is known to feed Malassezia. This ingredient may not be fungal acne safe.
