Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) is a widely used ester formed from isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid, valued for its exceptional sensory profile and formulation versatility. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a neutral odor, making it an ideal functional ingredient that does not interfere with fragrance character.
In perfumery, IPM is commonly employed as a diluent and carrier, particularly in perfume oils, attars, and alcohol-free compositions. Its low viscosity and excellent spreading ability help fragrance oils glide smoothly on the skin, enhancing application comfort while supporting even diffusion. IPM also assists in solubilizing aromatic materials and can subtly improve the wear experience of heavier compositions.
Beyond fine fragrance, Isopropyl Myristate is extensively used in skincare, haircare, and cosmetic formulations as a fast-absorbing emollient that reduces greasiness and leaves a soft, silky afterfeel. It is especially valued in massage oils, creams, and lotions for improving texture and skin penetration.
Reliable, stable, and highly functional, Isopropyl Myristate remains a cornerstone ingredient for formulators seeking performance, elegance, and compatibility across a wide range of fragrance and personal care applications.
