Descriptions
Description
ISOPROPYL MYRISTATE (IPM)Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) is a virtually odourless solvent. Used as a cosmeticemollient and solvent to replace ethanol in non-alcoholic skin-perfumes. Poorsolubility with terpenes, crystals and resinoids but Ok if they are firstblended with other materials. Used as a solvent in perfumes for oil or waxproducts like candles, wax melts, massage oils, hair oil etc.
Odor description (Perfumiarz)
Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) is a light, odorless ester – a classic carrier and
co-solvent; it is noticeably thinner (with lower viscosity) than DPG and TEC,
which makes it spread and absorb more quickly.
Odour (PerfumersWorld)
virtually odourless softly slightly fatty

Comment (FraterWork)
Isopropyl myristate brings virtually no odour contribution to your compositions,
functioning purely as a technical perfumery material. This clear, mobile liquid
dissolves lipophilic fragrance materials effortlessly while maintaining complete
transparency to the nose. Its exceptional spreading properties ensure rapid
absorption without the sticky residue common to other solvents.
You'll find IPM excels in oil-based fine fragrances, beard oils, and solid
perfumes where alcohol cannot be used. It enhances fragrance uptake into skin
whilst paradoxically increasing perceived intensity through controlled
dilution—a synergistic effect unique among perfumery solvents. Unlike DPG's
tendency towards stickiness or TEC's hydrophilic nature, IPM maintains a dry,
elegant feel throughout wear.
Use IPM at up to 85% in perfume oils for optimal fluidity and projection.
Combine with crystals and resinoids only after pre-dissolving them in compatible
materials. In reed diffusers, balance with alcohol to control evaporation rate
and throw.
The abbreviation "MIP", derived from the French name "Myristate d'Isopropyle,"
is commonly used in French perfumery circles, particularly in Grasse. Both IPM
(English) and MIP (French) refer to the identical compound—the ester of
isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid.
