    Isopropyl Myristate CAS 110-27-0

    Isopropyl Myristate (CAS 110-27-0) is a polar emollient ester functioning as a non-greasy lubricant and penetration enhancer in cosmetic and topical pharmaceutical preparations. Chemically synthesized from myristic acid and isopropanol, this clear, colorless liquid acts to reduce the oily feel of creams and improve the spreadability of lotions. As a low-viscosity 1-Methylethyl tetradecanoate compound, it is widely utilized in bath oils, antiperspirants, and makeup removers to provide a dry, velvety skin feel while facilitating the absorption of active ingredients. We ensure bulk supply capabilities for this material, providing access to competitive factory pricing and customized specifications to meet specific acid value and purity standards. Full technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA, is available to support compliance and safety protocols.

    Product Description

    Isopropyl Myristate is the ester of isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid. It appears as a clear, colorless, and odorless oily liquid. In cosmetic formulations, IPM acts as a polarity regulator and a fast-spreading emollient. It is valued for its ability to provide a “dry” and velvety feel to the skin, eliminating the greasy sensation often associated with other oils.

    Beyond texture improvement, it functions as a penetration enhancer, helping active ingredients pass through the stratum corneum. It is highly stable against oxidation and hydrolysis, making it a reliable component for products with long shelf lives. It is compatible with most surfactants and is soluble in common organic solvents.

    Applications

    1. Skin Care: Used in lotions, creams, and facial moisturizers to improve spreadability and provide a soft, non-tacky finish.
    2. Makeup Products: Acts as a binder and emollient in foundations, concealers, and powders. Excellent for makeup removers due to its solvent properties.
    3. Hair Care: Adds shine and improves manageability in hair oils, serums, and conditioners without weighing hair down.
    4. Perfumes & Fragrances: Serves as a diluent and solvent for fragrance oils.
    5. Pharmaceuticals: Used as a vehicle in topical medicinal preparations to enhance the skin penetration of active pharmaceutical ingredients.

    Storage Conditions

    • Environment: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse.
    • Temperature: Keep away from extreme heat and sources of ignition. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 30°C.
    • Container: Keep containers tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination and evaporation.
    • Shelf Life: 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored properly in original unopened packaging.

    Safety Precautions

    • Handling: Avoid contact with eyes. Use in a well-ventilated area. While it is generally considered safe for cosmetic use, prolonged exposure to undiluted pure chemicals should be managed with standard industrial hygiene.
    • Protective Gear: Wear safety goggles and chemical-resistant gloves during bulk handling or pouring.
    • First Aid:
      • Eye Contact: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.
      • Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water.
    • Fire Safety: Combustible liquid. In case of fire, use foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide. Do not use a direct water jet.
