    Synonyms: IPM; myristic acid isopropyl ester; 1-methylethyl tetradecanoate; tetradecanoic acid isopropyl ester.

    CAS: 110-27-0.

    Molecular formula: C₁₇H₃₄O₂.

    Molecular weight: 270.45 g/mol.

    EC number: 203-751-4.

    It is a clear, colorless to pale-yellow, practically odorless oily liquid.

    It typically has an assay of at least 98.0%, with an acid value no more than 0.5 mg KOH/g.

    It is a fast-spreading, non-greasy emollient that leaves a dry, velvety skin feel.

    It acts as a solvent and penetration enhancer, helping active ingredients pass through the skin barrier.

    It is used in skin-care lotions, creams, moisturizers, foundations, concealers and makeup removers.

    It is used in hair oils, serums and conditioners, and as a diluent for fragrance oils.

    Pharma grade is used as a vehicle in topical medicinal preparations to support active penetration.

    Confirm assay, acid value, saponification value, iodine value, refractive index, specific gravity, moisture and heavy metals.

    Store in a cool, dry, ventilated warehouse at about 15–30 °C, away from extreme heat and ignition sources.

    Keep containers tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination and evaporation.

    Confirm packaging with the requested quantity and destination requirements.

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      What is Isopropyl Myristate CAS 110-27-0?

      A: Isopropyl Myristate CAS 110-27-0, also called IPM, is a light, clear to pale yellow ester made from isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid. It is used as a fast-spreading emollient, solvent and penetration enhancer in cosmetics and topical pharmaceutical products.
    • Q:

      Why is Isopropyl Myristate described as a non-greasy emollient?

      A: IPM has low viscosity and spreads quickly, leaving a dry, velvety skin feel rather than a heavy or greasy film. It is used to lighten the texture of creams, lotions and serums while improving their spreadability.
    • Q:

      How does Isopropyl Myristate work as a penetration enhancer?

      A: IPM can help active ingredients move through the outer skin layer, or stratum corneum, by temporarily modifying the skin barrier properties. This makes it useful in topical medicines and cosmetic products that need improved delivery of actives.
    • Q:

      What are the main cosmetic applications of Isopropyl Myristate?

      A: It is used in skin care creams and lotions, foundations, concealers, makeup removers, hair oils and serums, and as a diluent or solvent for fragrance oils. It adds a soft finish without making the product feel heavy.
    • Q:

      Is Isopropyl Myristate suitable for pharmaceutical use?

      A: Yes. This listing provides cosmetic grade and pharma grade material based on USP/BP standards, and IPM is commonly used as a vehicle or solvent in topical medicinal preparations to support skin penetration of active ingredients.
    • Q:

      What is the solubility of Isopropyl Myristate?

      A: Isopropyl Myristate is insoluble in water but soluble in common organic solvents and miscible with many oils. This property supports its use in oil-based, anhydrous and emulsion formulations.
    • Q:

      How should Isopropyl Myristate be stored?

      A: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at about 15-30 C, away from extreme heat and ignition sources. Keep containers tightly closed to avoid contamination and evaporation; the typical shelf life is 24 months in unopened original packaging.
