Function & Application
Isopropyl myristate is a texture enhancer and emollient as used in cosmetics. It can also help to enhance the absorption of ingredients in a cosmetic formula.
- Skin care: It works as an emollient, thickener, and a lubricant in beauty products. It locks in the hydration, and enhances the penetration of other ingredients in the formulation. Isopropyl myristate is an effective agent for solubilizing lanolin. Therefore, isopropyl myristate is used as a solubilizing, spreading, and penetrating agent in anhydrous skin lubricating lotions with high lanolin content. It leaves the skin soft and smooth without an oily surface film. It can even reduce the heavy, greasy feel in products with high oil content. It's also fast-spreading meaning that it gives the formula a good, nice slip
- Hair care: It works as a hydrating agent, emollient, and enhancer. It hydrates the hair and the scalp and enhances the penetration of other ingredients in the formulation. It is not recommended for particularly thin hair, as it can make it appear greasy, or an oily scalp or hair, as it can lead to clogged pores
