Isopropyl myristate

What is Isopropyl myristate?

Isopropyl myristate, or Palmester 1514, is an ester formed by the condensation of isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid. It is a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid with emollient properties. This compound is valued for its low viscosity, quick absorption into the skin, and its ability to reduce the greasy feel of cosmetic and personal care products. Additionally, it functions as a solvent and can enhance the spreadability of formulations.
