Potassium myristoyl hydrolyzed collagen is a substance used in cosmetic formulations where it acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, for example of hair), surfactant (washing-active substance; improves the even distribution of products during application), and combability aid (reduces or prevents tangling of hair due to changes or damage on the hair surface, thus improving combability).

"Potassium..." means a potassium salt. The name component "myristoyl" means that the ingredient contains myristic acid (tetradecanoic acid) as a fatty acid component.
