Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) from 33RD PARALLEL SOAP CO. is a plant-derived, cosmetic-grade emollient used to improve texture, boost spreadability, and help solubilize oils and actives in creams, soaps, shampoos and makeup removers.

33RD PARALLEL SOAP CO. supplies this 16-ounce pack of Isopropyl Myristate (IPM), an all‑natural ester made from isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid. Formulators choose IPM to achieve a silky, non-greasy finish and to help disperse ingredients like fragrances, vitamins and sunscreens into water- or oil-based formulas. Packaged in resealable containerware, this cosmetic-grade IPM is intended for personal care, body care, and professional lab use where texture and solubility matter.

How does IPM change the feel of creams and lotions?

IPM acts as an emollient and lubricant that gives creams a smooth, velvety texture without leaving heavy residue. It helps formulas feel lighter on skin while improving glide and spreadability during application.

• Creates a dry‑touch, non-greasy finish
• Improves spread and absorbency in topical products
• Softens skin-feel for richer creams and milks

Can I use this IPM in soap, shampoo and makeup remover formulations?

Yes—this cosmetic-grade IPM is suitable for soap making, shampoos, makeup removers, antiperspirants, deodorants and similar personal care items. Its solvent and solubilizer properties help incorporate oils, fragrances and active ingredients evenly into the final product.

• Enhances oil dispersion in cleansing and makeup-removing blends
• Helps solubilize perfumes and fat-soluble actives
• Compatible with many common cosmetic bases when used at recommended rates

What functional roles does IPM perform in formulations?

IPM functions as an emollient, thickening agent and lubricant while also serving as a solubilizer for certain lipophilic actives. It’s often selected to balance moisturization with a lightweight, non-oily finish, improving both performance and consumer experience.

• Emollient: smooths and softens skin surface
• Thickener/lubricant: modifies texture and slip
• Solubilizer: helps blend sunscreens, vitamins and fragrances into bases

How should I store and handle this 16 oz IPM product?

Keep the container sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve quality. Use standard cosmetic lab safety: avoid ingestion, minimize skin contact with concentrated material, and follow local disposal regulations.

• Resealable packaging for freshness and ease of use
• Store at moderate room temperatures, away from flames
• Use gloves and eye protection when handling concentrated liquid

Who is this for? This 16-ounce Isopropyl Myristate is aimed at small-batch cosmetic formulators, indie soap makers, bar and liquid soap producers, shampoo and lotion creators, and professional labs that need a reliable, plant-derived emollient and solubilizer. It is also useful for formulators developing makeup removers, antiperspirants and deodorants where a non-greasy slip and improved solubility are required. If you create or refine personal care products and want a cosmetic-grade ingredient to enhance texture and ingredient dispersion, this IPM is formulated for those needs.
