"raffinose" means a non-reducing trisaccharide consisting of D-galactose, G-glucose and D-fructose; "myristate" means salts/esters of myristic acid Raffinose myristate is used in cosmetic formulations.

The ester acts as skin care agent (nourishes the skin) and emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together).
