"Myristyl" means an organic residue derived from myristyl alcohol. Myristyl hydroxyethyl imidazoline is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static electricity by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, for example of hair) and hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
