CALCHEM IPM RSPO
CALCHEM IPM RSPO – High-Purity Isopropyl Myristate Ester for Advanced Emollient, Solubilizing & Sensory Formulation Systems
CALCHEM IPM RSPO is Isopropyl Myristate, a low-viscosity fatty acid ester widely used as a multifunctional emollient, spreading agent, solvent, and carrier in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Its light, fluid character enables smooth distribution across the skin while helping reduce the heavy or greasy feel associated with some oil-phase ingredients. Isopropyl Myristate is particularly valuable in formulations requiring elegant sensory properties, efficient spreading, and incorporation of lipophilic ingredients. It is commonly used across skincare, sun care, color cosmetics, hair care, topical formulations, and other applications requiring a versatile liquid ester.
