In 2023–2024, China and Germany were the leading exporters of Isopropyl myristate (CAS 110-27-0), collectively accounting for over 50% of global export value, while the United States, South Korea, and India ranked among the top importers. Import demand in North America and East Asia remained stable, with modest growth observed in pharmaceutical and cosmetics end-use sectors, coinciding with relatively flat Isopropyl myristate prices amid balanced supply-demand conditions.
Isopropyl myristate is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint, characteristic fatty odor and low volatility. It is an ester formed from isopropanol and myristic acid, classified as a fatty acid ester and organic chemical intermediate. It is widely used as an emollient and solvent in personal care formulations, including lotions, creams, and makeup removers, due to its skin-penetrating properties and ability to enhance ingredient delivery. In industrial applications, it serves as a lubricant additive, plasticizer, and carrier solvent in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and topical drug delivery systems.
Isopropyl myristate is an emollient in cosmetic and pharmaceutical bases.
It is a colorless and odorless liquid, and miscible with vegetable oil. It is not easy to be either hydrolyzed or become rancid. The refractive index nD20 is 1.435~1.438, and the relative density (20°C) is 0.85~0.86.
