Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) is a colorless, liquid oleochemical derived from esterized Myristic acid and Isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl myristate is a common ingredient in cosmetic products, particularly moisturizing personal care products like lotions, creams, or serums. It is an extremely effective emollient and can act as a thickening or lubricating agent. Isopropyl Myristate is unique in that it enhances the penetration of other ingredients in a formulation, allowing for a variety of applications. This Isopropyl Myristate carries RSPO Certification which monitors the trade of sustainably certified palm oil and its derivatives. Isopropyl Myristate is used in formulas to dramatically reduce the greasy/oily feel such as recipes with a high percentage of butter with a heavier skin feel. Isopropyl Myristate is also a great lightweight emollient and can be used it in recipes as an alternative to a liquid carrier oil to make for a lighter, faster-absorbing product. At higher concentrations, it can also be used in products like makeup removers.
