Isopropyl Myristate’s unique combination of high polarity, low viscosity, and skin compatibility makes it an indispensable component in personal care, topical pharmaceuticals, and specialized technical formulations:
In modern cosmetic formulation science, IPM is widely recognized as a versatile skin-feel modifier and solvent:
Skin Care Emulsions & Lotions: Functions as a fast-spreading emollient that reduces greasiness in high-oil formulations, providing a soft, silky skin feel.
Color Cosmetics & Sunscreens: Acts as an efficient solvent and pigment dispersant for lipsticks, foundations, and organic UV filters, ensuring even pigment distribution.
Hair Care & Bath Oils: Enhances hair shine and combing compliance without leaving heavy residues, serving as a carrier oil in bath formulations.
Transdermal Penetration Enhancer: Temporarily modifies the stratum corneum lipid structure, significantly increasing the skin absorption rate of active pharmaceutical ingredients in gel, cream, and transdermal patch applications.
Topical Ointments & Solvents: Serves as a non-irritating solvent and vehicle for hydrophobic drugs in dermatological preparations.
Fragrance Fixative & Carrier: Works as a low-volatility solvent and fixative for fine fragrances, essential oils, and reed diffuser bases.
Industrial Lubricants & Processing Aids: Functions as a light lubricant and plasticizing agent in specialty textile and polymer formulations.
To guarantee compliant global distribution and meet the strict regulatory criteria of European, North American, and Asia-Pacific markets, our production facilities and supply chains maintain globally recognized certifications:
ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System: Certified chemical processing protocols ensuring lot-to-lot consistency, low-odor refinement, and strict trace-metal control.
ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System: Eco-conscious esterification workflows featuring high yield efficiency and sustainable effluent treatment.
REACH Compliance Support: Complete technical documentation supporting compliant importation into the European Union.
Halal & Kosher Compliance Documentation: Manufactured in accordance with strict dietary and processing hygiene standards upon commercial request.
Cruelty-Free & Non-GMO Declarations: Fully compliant with modern personal care ethical requirements, free from animal testing and genetically modified origin materials.
GHS & SDS Compliance: Safety Data Sheets (16 sections) compiled under current UN GHS guidelines in multiple languages for international freight handling.
At SD Look Chemical, every production lot of Isopropyl Myristate undergoes full analytical testing prior to release. Our internal Quality Control (QC) laboratory utilizes precision instrumentation to ensure full compliance with technical specifications.
Typical Certificate of Analysis (COA) Specifications:
Appearance: Clear, colorless liquid (Conforms / Visual Inspection)
Odor: Faint, characteristic ester odor (Conforms / Organoleptic Test)
Purity / Assay (GC): ≥ 98.0 % (Typical Result: 98.75 % / GC-FID)
Acid Value: ≤ 0.5 mg KOH/g (Typical Result: 0.12 mg KOH/g / Potentiometric Titration)
Saponification Value: 202 – 212 mg KOH/g (Typical Result: 206 mg KOH/g / Wet Chemical Titration)
Refractive Index (20°C): 1.432 – 1.436 (Typical Result: 1.434 / Refractometry)
Relative Density (20°C, g/cm³): 0.850 – 0.855 (Typical Result: 0.853 / Pycnometer)
Water Content (Karl Fischer): ≤ 0.10 % (Typical Result: 0.04 % / Coulometric Titration)
Heavy Metals (as Pb): ≤ 10 ppm (Typical Result: < 2 ppm / ICP-MS)
Gas Chromatography (GC-FID): Quantifies ester purity and ensures strict control over residual free acids and unreacted alcohol fractions.
Acid & Peroxide Value Titration: Verifies oxidation stability and low free-acid levels, preventing skin irritation and preserving formulation shelf life.
Organoleptic & Color Assessment: Ensures the material remains transparent without imparting unwanted odor or discoloration to clear cosmetic oil systems.
Pre-Shipment Retained Samples: Samples from every dispatched shipment are sealed and retained in climate-controlled archives for 24 months to support technical traceability.
A: We supply standard High-Purity Cosmetic Grade (Assay ≥98.0%) with strictly controlled low acid values. Customized specifications—such as tighter moisture limits, lower peroxide values, or specific trace metal limits for sensitive topical applications—can be arranged upon technical agreement.
A: IPM interacts with the intercellular lipid matrix of the stratum corneum, increasing lipid fluidity. This temporarily lowers the barrier resistance of the skin, allowing active pharmaceutical ingredients and cosmetic actives to penetrate deeper and more efficiently.
A: Yes. We provide sample quantities (typically 100g to 1kg) for laboratory validation and trial formulation tests. Standard export packaging includes 175kg steel/HDPE drums, 850kg IBC totes, and ISO tanks, accompanied by a comprehensive document package (COA, MSDS, Certificate of Origin) for every shipment.
