Isopropyl Myristate Overview

Isopropyl Myristate is an ester formed from isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid. It is generally supplied as a clear, colourless liquid with a mild characteristic odour. It is used as an emollient, skin-conditioning agent and solvent in various cosmetic and topical formulations.

In personal care products, Isopropyl Myristate helps reduce the heavy or greasy feel of certain formulations and improves the smoothness of application. It can also help dissolve selected oil-soluble ingredients. Its performance depends on the formulation composition and the grade used.
