What this page can and cannot answer
Audit the co-occurring flags first
100% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Magnesium Myristate as the trigger. Open records such as copper eyeshadow; Avon eyeshadow quad and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 72.5/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 24% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
100% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 2 of 2 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.

Magnesium Myristate — common follow-ups
How should I read safety signals when Magnesium Myristate sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
100% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Magnesium Myristate is the trigger. Where a source rating exists, Magnesium Myristate scores 3/5 on this site's screening scale with FDA SAFFA status "Approved". None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Where does Magnesium Myristate show up across the catalog? ▼
Magnesium Myristate sits above the median for catalog prevalence (2 products, #46,185 of 247,206) across 1 named brands. Category mix varies — use the linked records rather than treating any single shelf as representative.
What function does Magnesium Myristate serve when it appears beside other flagged additives? ▼
Magnesium Myristate is recorded as a anticaking agent or free-flow agent, emulsifier or emulsifier salt, lubricant or release agent in source technical-effect fields. In high co-flag products, that function coexists with other caution-marked components — inspect the full list rather than isolating this role.
