Isopropyl myristate

Description:
Isopropyl myristate is an ester formed from isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid, characterized by its clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid form. It has a mild odor and is known for its emollient properties, making it a popular ingredient in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. With a relatively low viscosity, it serves as an effective solvent and penetration enhancer, facilitating the absorption of active ingredients through the skin. Isopropyl myristate is also non-greasy and leaves a smooth, silky feel upon application, which enhances the sensory attributes of topical products. Its chemical structure contributes to its low toxicity and skin irritation potential, making it suitable for use in various formulations, including lotions, creams, and ointments. Additionally, it is stable under normal conditions and has a moderate flash point, indicating it should be handled with care in terms of flammability. Overall, isopropyl myristate is valued for its versatility and effectiveness in enhancing the performance of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.
