Isopropyl myristate is the esterofisopropanol and myristic acid.
Isopropyl myristate is a polar emollient and is used in cosmetic and topical medicinal preparations where good absorption the skin is desired. Isopropyl myristate is being study as a skin enhancer. It is also used as a pesticide-free treatment against head lice which works by dissolving the wax that covers the exoskeleton of head lice, killing them by dehydration.[2]
It is used as a solvent in perfume materials.
It is the non-aqueous component of the two-phase mouthwash, Dentyl pH, where it removes bacteria from the oral cavity.
It is also used in the removal process of prosthetic make-up.
It is also used in flea and tick products for pets.
The hydrolisis of the ester from isopropyl myristate can iberate the acid and the alcohol. The acid could be responsible for decreasing of the pH value of formulations.
