So, what is propylene glycol myristate?

Propylene glycol myristate is a food ingredient commonly used as a food additive and emulsifier.

It is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid that is soluble in water and oils. Propylene glycol myristate is often added to baked goods, processed foods, and dairy products to improve their texture, stability, and mouthfeel. It can also be used as a carrier for other ingredients, such as flavors and colors.
