Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) Nigeria – Cosmetic Grade Emollient for Professional Cosmetic Formulation

Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) is a premium cosmetic-grade emollient produced by esterifying isopropyl alcohol with myristic acid. It is widely used in creams, lotions, massage oils, body oils, sunscreens, deodorants, haircare products, makeup removers, and cosmetic formulations because of its lightweight texture and excellent spreading properties. As a result, it has become one of the most widely used cosmetic esters in professional skincare formulations.

Isopropyl Myristate blends easily with carrier oils, esters, cosmetic butters, silicones, waxes, and active ingredients. Moreover, it reduces the heavy or greasy feel of formulations while improving product glide and skin absorption. Therefore, it remains a preferred ingredient for skincare brands, cosmetic manufacturers, haircare formulators, spas, soap makers, and DIY formulators throughout Nigeria.
