Chemical compound

Isopropyl myristate is the ester of isopropanol and myristic acid.

Uses

Isopropyl myristate is used in cosmetic and topical medicinal preparations where good absorption through the skin is desired. 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.

It is also the non-aqueous component of the two-phase mouthwash, Dentyl pH, where it removes bacteria from the oral cavity.

Isopropyl myristate has been shown to show a comedogenic and irritability to users with acne-prone skin.
