Findings

Myristic acid passed safety testing across multiple categories: it's not genotoxic, doesn't trigger skin sensitization at current use levels, and won't cause photoirritant reactions. Exposure levels in products are well below safety thresholds, and it doesn't accumulate in the environment or persist as a toxin.
