About Isopropyl Myristate

Isopropyl Myristate is the ester of isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to help formula ingredients bind to one another and maintain their shape, reduce friction and add a smooth feel to skin or hair, and prevent the characteristic odor or taste of raw materials from becoming overly noticeable.[2] It is also used to add fragrance to products or adjust the characteristic odor of raw materials.[2]
