Overview of Isopropyl Myristate

Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) is a clear, colorless, and almost odorless liquid ester that is known for being a light, non-greasy emollient. You can make it by mixing isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid. It is helpful because it can spread out active ingredients, make them easier to absorb, and make many personal care and industrial products feel better. IPM is often used with other esters like Isopropyl Palmitate and Ethyl Myristate to give end formulations a smooth, soft finish.

Applications of Isopropyl Myristate

Perfumery & Fragrance Industry

Isopropyl Myristate is a common ingredient in perfumes, aftershaves, and deodorants that helps dissolve and stabilize fragrance oils so that the scent lasts longer. IPM makes applying fragrance smoother and less greasy when mixed with other products like Isopropyl Palmitate and Fenchyl Alcohol. It is an essential ingredient in modern body sprays and fragrance products because it absorbs and spreads quickly.

Cosmetics & Personal Care

Because IPM is so good for the skin, it is a common ingredient in creams, lotions, sunscreens, hair conditioners, and makeup removers. It makes it easier for active ingredients to get to where they need to go and gives the product a light, velvety finish. It is often used in formulations with emollients like Octyldodecanol to create a "cascading esters" effect that makes the product softer and easier to spread. IPM is suitable for dry, flaky skin because it holds onto moisture. It is often found in creams that protect the skin and fight aging.

Pharmaceuticals

Isopropyl Myristate is useful in medicinal creams, ointments, gels, and transdermal drug delivery systems because it makes things more permeable. It is often used in topical medicated creams to help synthetic and natural ingredients spread out evenly and be absorbed.

Industrial & Technical Applications

IPM is used as a lubricant, plasticizer, and solvent in coatings, metal polishes, and industrial lubricants. For some specialized uses, it is mixed with esters like Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate and Heptyl Undecylenate to change the viscosity and finish of high-performance products. IPM is an anti-static and wetting agent that helps make specialty cleaners and biodegradable industrial fluids.

Household Products

Isopropyl Myristate makes oils and perfumes more soluble in air fresheners, household cleaners, and furniture polishes. It also makes the product smoother and easier to spread. Pentanoic Acid and Fenchyl Alcohol are some of the raw materials that can be used together in household products to make them work in many different ways for cleaning and freshening.

Personal Hygiene Products

IPM is a common ingredient in antiperspirants, wet wipes, and cleansing tissues because it makes them feel better and reduces greasy residue. When mixed with other esters like Isopropyl Laurate or natural emollients like almond oil, products feel more luxurious and are gentler on the skin.

Instructions for Safe Handling

• Always wear safety glasses or goggles that fit tightly and gloves when handling Isopropyl Myristate to keep it from getting on your skin and eyes.
• Work in areas with good air flow or wear the proper respiratory protection, especially if you will be using it a lot or for a long time, to avoid breathing in vapors.
• Keep Isopropyl Myristate in its original, tightly sealed containers, away from heat sources, sparks, open flames, and potent oxidizing agents. Do not smoke or use anything that can start a fire near places where things are stored.
• If it gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water right away. If it gets in your eyes, rinse them out with water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor if the irritation doesn't go away.
• If you breathe it in, go outside for fresh air. If you start to feel sick, call for help. If you swallow it, rinse your mouth with water. Don't make yourself throw up, and if you need to, get medical help.
• Don't use pressure to empty containers. Don't throw away trash and leftovers in drains or water sources; instead, follow local environmental rules.
