Isopropyl Myristate is an ester of isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid. It is commonly used in perfumery as a solvent and fixative to enhance the absorption and longevity of fragrances on the skin. It has a faint, almost imperceptible odor and is valued for its ability to make fragrances feel less greasy and more easily absorbed.
Used as a solvent and fixative in fragrances, helping to stabilize the scent and improve its adherence to the skin. It makes the fragrance feel lighter and facilitates smoother application.
