Isopropyl Myristate IPM – 8 oz | Natural Plant-Derived Cosmetic Grade | 33RD PARALLEL SOAP CO.

A luxurious base for your formulations

Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) in an 8 oz bottle from 33RD PARALLEL SOAP CO. offers a plant-derived cosmetic grade ester designed to improve texture and spread in a variety of products. It blends into bases smoothly, yielding a satin-like slip without a heavy afterfeel. This IPM is produced by combining isopropyl alcohol with a naturally occurring fatty acid, providing a versatile additive that many formulators reach for when building skincare or personal care items.

In practice, IPM contributes to a refined surface on many cosmetic bases, helping products feel light and easy to apply. The 8 oz bottle is convenient for small labs, hobbyists, or formulators who want to experiment with new recipes while maintaining consistent quality.

Texture, feel, and sensory notes

When integrated, IPM can contribute a dry yet moisturizing sensation for creams and lotions, helping formulations glide onto the skin without a greasy residue. The result is a polished finish that leaves a breathable, silky impression on the surface of the skin.

What it can be used for

IPM is suitable for a wide range of cosmetic projects, supporting both parameter-rich blends and simple bases. It blends well with soaps and fragrances and is compatible with shampoos, creams, and makeup removers. It can also be considered as part of formulations for antiperspirants and deodorants when appropriate for your recipe.

• Soap bases and cleansers
• Fragrances and fragrance solubility
• Shampoos, conditioners, and haircare products
• Creams, lotions, and emulsions
• Makeup removers and cosmetic adhesives
• Antiperspirants and deodorants

Formulation benefits (possibilities, not guarantees)

Beyond texture, IPM acts as a lightweight emollient, lubricant, and moisturizer, helping products feel smooth on the skin. It can serve as a thickener or a solubilizer, assisting in dissolving actives such as sunscreens, vitamins, and perfumes into bases. These capabilities may support smoother dispersion and a more uniform application in multi-ingredient formulas.

• Natural emollient for a comfortable skin feel
• Lubricant and moisturizer for a smooth finish
• Potential thickening and solubilizing support
• Aids in integrating actives into bases
