IPM

Isopropyl Myristate (Cosmetic Grade)

A Versatile, Skin-Loving Ingredient for Modern Formulations

Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) is a lightweight, fast-absorbing liquid ester that delivers a smooth, silky feel; perfect for high-performance skincare, personal care and fragrance products.

With its virtually odourless profile and non-greasy finish, IPM enhances both the sensory experience and efficacy of your formulations.

IPM is derived from Nature – Made from myristic acid found in coconut and palm oils.

Functions in Perfumery

• Carrier & Solvent – Dissolves and evenly distributes most fragrance oils in formulations with ease.

• Enhanced Absorption – Promotes better fragrance uptake into the skin, improving longevity.

• Silky, Non-Greasy Sensation – Ensures a pleasant, dry feel on skin contact.

• Stabilization – Helps maintain the uniformity and shelf stability of fragrance products.

• Quick Evaporation: IPM evaporates rapidly, allowing fragrance to disperse into the air without leaving behind any residue.

It is ideal for use in deodorants and antiperspirants, sunscreens and after-sun products, perfume oils, sprays, and mists, solid perfumes and body balms.
