Choose Size

Isopropyl Myristate is an ester included in formulas to dramatically reduce the greasy/oily feel; it’s works wonders in formulations like lotion bars for a glidy, smooth non-greasy feel. Formulations with large amounts of butters that are infamous for a heavier skin feel.  Try it in your whipped butters to reduce the heavy greasy feel.

Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) is a colourless, liquid synthetic 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.

Include it in the oil phase of your products; it can be hot or cold processed.

This Isopropyl Myristate carries RSPO-MB Certification, one of four certification levels offered by the RSPO which monitors the trade of sustainably certified and non-sustainably certified palm oil. The Mass Balance certification allows the overall production of both RSPO and non-RSPO certified palm oil to maintain an even balance, hence its Mass Balance designation, with administrative traceability of the input and mixing of RSPO and non-RSPO certified palm oil, but at controlled quantities.
