What is Isopropyl Myristate?
Isopropyl myristate is a polar emollient and is used in cosmetic and topical medicinal preparations where good absorption by the skin is desired. Isopropyl myristate is being studied as a skin booster. It is also used as a pesticide against head lice, which kills them through dehydration by dissolving the wax that covers the exoskeleton of head lice. It is also used in flea and tick killing products for pets. It is used as the anhydrous component of the two-phase mouthwash product "Dentyl pH" to remove bacteria from the oral cavity. Isopropyl myristate is also used as a solvent in perfume ingredients and in removing prosthetic makeup. Hydrolysis of ester from isopropyl myristate can liberate acid and alcohol. The acid may be responsible for the lowering of the formulations pH.
It is a moisturizing chemical obtained from the reaction of myristic acid with isopropyl alcohol. It is one of the most important compounds among the chemical that penetrates the skin very quickly. It is an indispensable part of moisturizing creams in the cosmetics industry. It is an ester derivative chemical substance. It has fatty acid properties. Some formulations have an emulsifier and dispersant effect. It is called IPM for short.
Isopropyl myristate is an ingredient you may have used many times before without knowing it. Isopropyl myristate is a synthetic oil that consists of two components. The first ingredient is isopropyl alcohol, which is an antimicrobial agent used in some hand sanitizers, diapers, and antiseptic formulations. The second ingredient is myristic acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid found in coconut oil, coconut oil, and animal fats like butter - when combined, the two elements create an extraordinary emollient. Emollients are thick, slightly waxy ingredients that help maintain the skin's natural barrier and provide the skin with the desired moisturized look. The skin's natural barrier is the first few layers of the skin and sebum, the protective oils produced. Disruption of the skin's natural barrier has been associated with skin diseases such as eczema, so the health of the skin barrier is vital to cleansing healthy-looking skin. Isopropyl myristate also has the added benefit of increasing the penetration of ingredients into the skin. This means that the essential ingredients in your skin care penetrate deep into your skin, trying to improve the skin's appearance.

Isopropyl Myristate Production
Isopropyl Myristate production is obtained by esterification reaction of myristic acid obtained from coconut and isopropyl alcohol. 98% sulfuric acid is added before the heating process starts. After this process, it is heated for a long time. After the manufacturing process, isopropyl alcohol is recovered and subsequently neutralized with Sodium Carbonate. The next step in production is distillation of isopropyl alcohol and water. Finally, IPM is purified.
Isopropyl myristate finds many applications in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as an emollient, thickening agent or lubricant. Using a homogeneous reaction phase, the non-specific lipase derived from Candida antartica was determined to be most suitable for the enzymatic synthesis of isopropyl myristate, marketed as Novozym 435. The high molar ratio of alcohol to acid creates a new single-phase environment that overcomes mass transfer effects and facilitates downstream processes. The effect of various reaction parameters has been optimized to obtain a high yield of isopropyl myristate. The effect of temperature, agitation speed, organic solvent, biocatalyst loading and batch operational stability of the enzyme was systematically studied. When the molar ratio of isopropyl alcohol to myristic acid (15: 1) was used with a catalyst loading of 4% (w / w) and a shaking speed of 150 rpm at 60 ° C, 87.65% conversion was obtained. The enzyme also showed good batch operational stability under optimized conditions.

Isopropyl myristate, a green fat ester full of goodwill!
Isopropyl myristate (CAS: 110-27-0; EC: 203-751-4) is a fatty acid ester (isopropyl ester of myristic acid) that has been widely used in cosmetics since the 1950s. It is appreciated for its significant spreading power. It is also said to be a film-forming component. Cosing presents it as a "binder, softener, masking, perfume agent". If we consider this as a softening effect, or to mask bad odors, it should be explained, isopropyl myristate is an excellent odorless liquid. It is the solvent properties of isopropyl myristate with respect to a number of odor molecules that justify the use of the terms "fragrance, masking". But in our eyes, isopropyl myristate is much more than that ... This ingredient, therefore, deserved a Look to elaborate all its properties carefully.

Isopropyl myristate "Green" ingredient
Although not found in nature, if one is considering certain modes of synthesis related to Isopropyl myristate, this component can be qualified as "green". Isopropyl myristate can in fact be obtained from Candida antartica by enzymatic synthesis using lipase B.

Proven penetration enhancing effect
The penetration-enhancing effect of isopropyl myristate is well documented. Proposed in in vitro models for the study of transdermal transmission in the 1970s, it quickly crosses the other side of the barrier and is being studied as a facilitator of the penetration of various active medicinal components.3,4 This component can thin lipid membranes, thus facilitating the penetration of ingredients into the cell.5 A hydroalcohol carbomer made of water The inclusion of 3% isopropyl myristate in the gel, Carbopol 980 and soda multiplies the testosterone influx through the skin six-fold.6 The isopropyl alcohol / isopropyl myristate (1/1 ratio) mixture included in a lanolin ointment, meanwhile, is betamethasone-17- multiplying the valerate flow by 12. 7 The same is true for a gel containing diclofenac sodium. penetration enhancers (lactic acid, isopropyl myristate, ethanol) can be carried out as part of the formulation of anti-inflammatory preparations.9 If included in some transdermal patches, the phenomenon of a decrease in the characteristics of the adhesive system; In this case, isopropyl myristate is said to play a plasticizing role for the polymer in question. 10 This penetration enhancing effect, which has been studied a lot in the pharmaceutical field, is ignored in the cosmetic field where there is fear. By talking about the concept of skin penetration, it scares consumers. Quiet, so we won't say more!

Isopropyl myristate A suspected antimicrobial effect.
When it is desired to check the sterility of an ophthalmic preparation, membrane filtration is performed to isolate the microorganisms from the dosage form to be tested. It is noticed that when isopropyl myristate is used as a solvent to dilute the preparation to be tested, some bacterial strains may observe false negatives due to their sensitivity; we will specifically consider Pseudomonas aeruginosa.11 This phenomenon was observed by a number of microbiologists in the 1970s; Some pushed the antimicrobial effect not to esterify, but to traces of acid catalysts found in the raw material.1 Attention, finally, not all microbes are susceptible (if susceptible). Isopropyl myristate has no effect on B. subtilis and E. coli.12 At a time when efforts are being made to minimize the number and dose of antimicrobial preservatives, it may be beneficial to consider it. Remember these studies and dig in that direction again to get a fair idea of ​​the antimicrobial power of this fat ester.
 
In fact, we know that when anti-lice lotions enter 50% in their composition, neurotoxic pediculicides make it possible to effectively destroy lice that do not contain permethrin or pyrethrin. Association Isopropyl silicon-myristate is also a good duo for anti-lice control.
Isopropyl myristate is a synthetic oil that is used as an emollient, thickening agent or lubricant in beauty products. Containing Isopropyl Alcohol (a propane derivative) and Myristic Acid (a naturally occurring fatty acid), Isopropyl myristate is a popular cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredient. Most often, aftershaves is used as an additive in shampoos, bath oils, antiperspirants, deodorants, oral hygiene products, and various creams and lotions.

How is isopropyl myristate used?
There are many reasons why skincare companies often contain isopropyl myristate in their products. Perhaps one of the most common reasons is that this chemical moisturizes the skin. As an emollient, isopropyl myristate helps strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier, which helps moisturize it by reducing moisture loss.
Another benefit of isopropyl myristate is that it thickens formulations and gives creams and deodorants a denser texture. Although this feature does not directly improve the condition of the wearer's skin, a thicker cream can feel more luxurious and thus increase the consumer's taste. What's more, this allows some products such as deodorants to be applied smoother to the skin.
Also, isopropyl myristate values ​​the ability to improve the overall texture of products with high fat content. Products that contain too much oil can be incredibly beneficial for the skin, but the oily feeling can be a turn-off for many consumers. In addition, the oiliness caused by excess oil is impractical to use such creams in a professional setting. It can be a useful additive for such products, including isopropyl myristate, because it will alter the texture in a more silky way than fat.
Finally, isopropyl myristate is also believed to have strong skin penetration properties. This is a valuable property as isopropyl myristate can help other skin healing chemicals to penetrate deeper; Thus, it makes personal care products more effective.
ISOPROPYL MYSTATE
Ingredient Type: Softener, but also acts as a thickener and lubricant in beauty products.
Main Benefits: Strengthens the skin's natural moisture barrier to lock in hydration, increases the penetration of other ingredients, thickens formulas, and makes those with high fat feel silky rather than oily.
Who to Use: Isopropyl myristate is ideal for anyone with normal to dry skin looking for moisturizing benefits.
How You Can Use It: For best results, follow the directions on the product it is in, but daily or twice-a-day use is usually fine.
Works Well With: Isopropyl myristate works well with a variety of active ingredients, says Solomon, so it's found in many different products and formulas.
Do Not Use With: It is important to evaluate the other ingredients in the formula as it increases penetration and whether this increased penetration will cause unexpected side effects such as irritation.
Isopropyl myristate, a synthetic oil, consists of isopropyl alcohol, a propane derivative, and myristic acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid. While it's not a skincare star alone you'll find touted as a protagonist ingredient, it's a popular cosmetic ingredient in a wide variety of beauty products found in everything from aftershave to antiperspirant creams and anti-aging creams. Why is it so popular? First, the formulation has its benefits. "By thickening the formulas, it gives the products a denser texture and also makes the overall texture of those with high fat content silky rather than oily," says Palep. And while this is a huge win for labs and scientists who make your beauty products, it has skincare benefits for you as well. While there are plenty of emollients on the market, isopropyl myristate has the added benefit of increasing the penetration of other ingredients.

Isopropyl Myristate Benefits for Skin
Strengthens the skin barrier: Isopropyl myristate keeps the outermost layer of the skin strong and intact. Imagine that the skin barrier is made of brick and mortar: cells are bricks and all lipids (fats) are grout. Isopropyl myristate is the grout that fills the cracks between skin cells to prevent moisture from escaping.
Softens the skin: As an emollient it also helps to soften and smooth dry skin, so it is the preferred ingredient for those with dry or flaky skin.
Increases penetration of other ingredients: The exact mechanism by which this works is not entirely clear, but isopropyl myristate is thought to alter the structure of the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, and facilitate the absorption of active ingredients.

There's a big caveat about this ingredient: "The only documented drawback of isopropyl myristate is that it can clog pores," says Solomon. Translation: Those with acne or prone to breakouts should be clearly guided. And while it is generally a good thing to increase the penetration of other materials, this can also prove to be a double-edged sword. "Because it is a penetration enhancer, it can make irritation from other active ingredients more common," Belkin warns. He also points out that those with rosacea or particularly sensitive skin should be more wary of formulas that contain isopropyl myristate, along with potent active ingredients such as retinoids and acids, which can be irritating initially.
