1.Why do formulators love to use IPM
Nowadays, when choosing skincare products, people increasingly value the advantages of "lightweight texture", "fast absorption", and "no acne". Customers often ask 'Is isopropyl myristate safe?', 'Is it pore clogging?', and 'Can it irritate sensitive skin?', which shows that everyone is concerned about these questions. And NSOAF ™ IPM can precisely meet these needs. It is a fast spreading ester with strong solubility and minimal residue, solving the formula problems caused by traditional heavy oils and waxes. It can help make popular refreshing skincare products. So whether it is makeup remover, mobile lotion, skin melting cream, or cosmetics products, it is indispensable.
2.Why is IPM so user-friendly
Isopropyl myristate is a low molecular weight ester that combines the lipophilicity of fatty acids with the diffusion promoting properties of isopropanol. This structure makes it apply very quickly and also works well with the lipid layer of the skin's stratum corneum. In this way, it can help to better deliver oil soluble active ingredients, increase smoothness during application, and reduce friction.
3. Practical performance in the formula
NSOAF ™ IPM can be used as a structural and skin feel regulator in various formulations:
In makeup remover products, it can dissolve makeup, silicone, and sunscreen films, and also assist in the process of oil to water conversion.
● In lotion face cream: it can reduce the thickness of wax, make the texture lighter and absorb faster.
● In essence and massage oil: increase smoothness and make the application more even.
In cosmetics and topical medications: increase the solubility of fat soluble active drugs to aid local penetration.
● In the essence and essential oil system: keep the clarity and make the dissolution effect more stable.
4.How good is the finished product to use
Formulators can use it to create products with these effects:
Apply quickly, with minimal greasy residue
