Myristyl Nicotinate is the myristyl ester of nicotinic acid. In creams and anhydrous sticks it is a waxy oil-phase nicotinate, not niacinamide and not hexyl nicotinate. This grade is a white to off-white waxy powder.

Barrier creams continue to specify this INCI when a longer-chain nicotinate ester is required. Cosmetic-grade Myristyl Nicotinate remains a bulk ester when the assay is on the COA.
