Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) is a clear, colorless, practically odorless liquid of low viscosity that congeals at about 5℃. It consists of esters of propan-2-ol and saturated high molecular weight fatty acids, principally myristic acid.

Safety Profile:
Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) is widely used in cosmetics and topical pharmaceutical formulations, and is generally regarded as a nontoxic and nonirritant material.
Storage:
Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) is resistant to oxidation and hydrolysis, and does not become rancid. It should be stored in a well-closed container in a cool, dry place and protected from light.
Package:
175kgs drum, 14 tons in one 20ft container with pallets.
Application:
IPM is an emollient, moisturizer, binder, and skin softener that also assists in product penetration. An ester of myristic acid, it is naturally occurring in coconut oil and nutmeg. Although isopropyl myristate is generally considered comedogenic, some ingredient manufacturers clearly specify non-comedogenicity on their data sheets.
