Product Description
Isopropyl Myristate is a fast-spreading, low-viscosity ester derived from isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid. It’s widely used in cosmetics as a non-greasy emollient, solubilizer, and penetration enhancer. Known for its silky feel and excellent skin absorption, it helps reduce the greasy texture of oil-rich formulations while improving spreadability and skin conditioning.
Ideal for use in lotions, creams, serums, massage oils, and anhydrous balms, Isopropyl Myristate leaves the skin soft and smooth without a heavy residue.
