Product Description
Isopropyl Myristate (IPM, CAS No. 110-27-0) is a widely used saturated fatty acid ester synthesized via the esterification of myristic acid and isopropyl alcohol. At room temperature, it appears as a colorless to slightly yellowish transparent oily liquid with almost no odor. It has a density of approximately 0.85–0.86 g/cm³. While insoluble in water, it is miscible with organic solvents such as ethanol, mineral oil, and vegetable oils. Chemically, it is stable and resistant to oxidative rancidity.
Major Application Areas
1. Cosmetics & Personal Care
Emollient: Used in creams, lotions, sunscreens, foundations, lipsticks, eyeshadows, makeup removers, and conditioners to enhance skin feel and moisturization, while relieving skin tightness.
Penetration Enhancer: Facilitates the absorption of active ingredients to boost skincare efficacy.
Solvent / Dispersant: Dissolves oil-soluble components and ensures uniform dispersion within the formulation system.
Fixative: Acts as a fixative in perfumes to extend the longevity of the fragrance.
