33RD PARALLEL SOAP CO. Isopropyl Myristate 16 oz — Cosmetic-Grade Plant-Derived Emollient & Solubilizer

Isopropyl Myristate (16 oz) from 33RD PARALLEL SOAP CO. is a cosmetic-grade, plant-derived emollient and solubilizer used to create silky textures, improve spreadability, and help incorporate actives into soaps, lotions, fragrances, and personal-care products.

Made by esterifying isopropyl alcohol with naturally occurring myristic acid, this IPM delivers a lightweight, non-greasy skin feel that formulators rely on when they want a velvet-like finish. Supplied in resealable packaging, the 16-ounce bottle is intended for small-batch makers, indie brands, and DIY formulators who need a reliable cosmetic ingredient with broad compatibility across creams, deodorants, shampoos, and makeup removers.

How does this ingredient change the texture of creams and lotions?

Isopropyl Myristate reduces tackiness and increases slip, so products glide on skin smoothly and absorb with a dry, silky finish. It can cut through heavier oils to deliver a lighter sensory profile without sacrificing moisturization.

• Creates a velvety, non-oily finish in emulsions
• Improves spreadability for even application
• Blends easily with oils and esters for a stable texture

Can IPM help incorporate active ingredients like sunscreens or vitamins?

Yes — Isopropyl Myristate acts as a solubilizer and carrier, helping oil-soluble actives dissolve and disperse uniformly through a formulation. This increases formulation clarity and ensures consistent delivery of those ingredients in the finished product.

• Enhances solubility for oil-soluble actives and fragrances
• Promotes even distribution to avoid settling or separation
• Works well in both anhydrous and emulsified systems

What roles does IPM play in specialty products like deodorants, makeup removers, or adhesives?

In antiperspirants and deodorants, IPM contributes slip and improves skin feel; in makeup and adhesive removers, it helps dissolve oils and binders for easier cleansing. Its lubricating properties make it valuable across products where gentle removal or improved application matters.

• Helps dissolve makeup and adhesives for effective removal
• Reduces residue and improves product performance in deodorants
• Adds slickness to formulations that require quick spreading

How should small-batch makers use this 16 oz packaging safely and effectively?

The resealable 16-ounce container is sized for boutique production and home labs. Store in a cool, dry place, keep the cap closed between uses, and follow standard cosmetic formulation safety practices and supplier purity guidance.

• Use measured amounts per your formulation guidelines
• Close the resealable cap to maintain quality and prevent contamination
• Combine with compatible oils, esters, and actives per tested recipes
