Isopropyl Myristate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Medium Chain Triglyceride

Isopropyl Palmitate (IPP) is produced from palm‑derived palmitic acid and isopropyl alcohol, resulting in a high‑purity ester widely recognized in the cosmetics industry. This premium oleochemical demonstrates excellent emollient and spreading properties, making it a preferred ingredient in creams, lotions, hair conditioners, and pharmaceutical excipients. The exceptional oxidative stability of IPP, provided by its saturated structure, ensures prolonged shelf life for finished cosmetic formulations. By enhancing spreadability and improving product texture, IPP contributes to superior performance in skincare and personal care applications.

These ester emollients (softening agents) and emulsifiers—including Isopropyl Myristate (IPM, CAS No. 110‑27‑0, HS Code 2915.90.2000), Isopropyl Palmitate (IPP, CAS No. 142‑91‑6, HS Code 2915.90.000), and Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT, CAS No. 73398‑61‑5, HS Code 3824.99.9900)—are widely used in toiletries and cosmetics for the care of skin, hair, eyes, and lips, as well as in sun protection products. Derived from palm oil and palm kernel oil, these esters are known to be well tolerated by human skin, offering excellent emollient and spreading properties. Their sustainable palm‑based origin ensures low environmental impact, making them a preferred choice for global cosmetic and personal care manufacturers seeking high‑quality, 100% vegetable‑based oleochemicals.  

Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) is a palm‑derived ester widely used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. With its low viscosity, cloud point, and excellent spreading properties, IPM serves as a versatile solvent and penetrating agent across virtually every type of cosmetic preparation.

• Applications:
  • Bath oils and skin‑conditioning products
  • Electric pre‑shaving lotions and grooming formulations
  • Topical pharmaceuticals requiring high emollient concentration
  • General cosmetic formulations where enhanced absorption is critical
• Benefits:
  • Provides smooth texture and non‑greasy feel
  • Enhances penetration of active ingredients
  • Improves product stability and consistency

Fatty acid esters are versatile oleochemicals derived from palm and palm kernel oil, widely used across multiple industries. They serve as raw materials for emulsifiers and oiling agents in foods, spin finishes, and textiles and as lubricants for plastics. In the chemical sector, they function as paint and ink additives, surfactants, and base materials for perfumery. In addition, fatty acid esters are employed as solvents, co‑solvents, and oil carriers in the agricultural industry, supporting formulations for crop protection and agrochemicals. Their palm‑based origin ensures excellent biodegradability, low environmental impact, and high compatibility with human skin, making them a sustainable alternative to petroleum‑derived chemicals.
