Isopropyl Myristate, commonly abbreviated as IPM, is the ester of isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid, a naturally derived fatty acid. It is a clear, colorless, and practically odorless lightweight liquid in form. Isopropyl Myristate meets the requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and National Formulary (NF) standards and is Kosher certified. It is widely used in cosmetics and personal care formulations as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent, where it enhances the spreadability and absorption of formulations into the skin without leaving a heavy or greasy after-feel. It also functions as a binder, carrier, and solubilizer for active ingredients, pigments, and other lipophilic compounds. Isopropyl Myristate is commonly found in skin care products, body lotions, creams, color cosmetics, hair care formulations, and topical pharmaceutical preparations. In pharmaceutical applications, it is used as an excipient and penetration enhancer to improve the delivery of active ingredients through the skin.
