What Is Isopropyl Myristate (IPM)?
Isopropyl Myristate (IPM, CAS 110-27-0) is a high-efficiency synthetic ester cosmetic raw material, widely recognized as a professional emollient and skin penetration enhancer. It has excellent lubricity, spreadability and low-viscosity characteristics, with light and non-greasy skin feel. It can soften skin keratin, improve product ductility, and significantly promote the penetration and absorption of cosmetic active ingredients.
IPM has stable chemical properties, compatible with anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants, and does not affect the efficacy of other active ingredients. It is widely used in various skincare, body care and makeup products. As a professional Chinese bulk supplier, Aogubio provides 99% high-purity IPM raw materials, supporting all cosmetic formula customization, free samples, complete COA/MSDS/TDS documents and global door-to-door shipping.

How IPM Works On Skin & Cosmetic Formulas
Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) is a polar synthetic ester with small molecular weight and strong permeability. When applied to the skin surface, it can quickly spread and penetrate the stratum corneum, soften aging keratin and unclog skin absorption channels. On the one hand, it forms a thin breathable protective film on the skin surface to lock moisture and prevent dryness; on the other hand, it carries various active ingredients in cosmetics to penetrate deep into the skin, avoiding the loss of active ingredients on the skin surface and maximizing product efficacy. In formula preparation, IPM acts as an efficient solubilizer and emollient, improving the dispersion uniformity of pigments and oil-soluble components, optimizing product ductility and stability, and upgrading the overall skin feel of finished cosmetics.
