Candle Cocoon, LLC - Isopropyl Myristate (IPM)

Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) is a liquid ester of isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid, a fatty acid that occurs naturally.  Isopropyl myristate is a nonpolar penetration enhancer in cosmetic preparations and is primarily used as an emollient in various bath and body products such as lotions.  It is also used to lubricate and as a thickening agent.  It also helps to increase penetration for other ingredients and even helps to eliminate head lice. 

Isoproply Myristate is known to strengthens skin's moisture barrier to lock in hydration.  Also, if a formula has high oil content it will make the product more silky and less greasy feeling. 

Safety in cosmetic applications

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel assessed the safety of Isopropyl Myristate as used in cosmetics. These ingredients mostly function as skin-
conditioning agents in cosmetics. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel (Panel) reviewed relevant data related to these ingredients, including the data in the previous reports. The Panel concluded that Isopropyl Myristate was safe as cosmetic ingredients in the practices of use and concentration of this safety assessment when formulated to be nonirritating.  Usage is not specified by the CIR.

Aerosolized exposure - The CIR deems the actual exposure in the breathing zone is small and given the concentrations at which the ingredients are used, the available information indicates that incidental inhalation would not be a significant route of exposure that might lead to local respiratory or systemic effects.

Shipping / Returns / Exchanges

All of our products are handmade and can take time to make. We try to keep an inventory of all of our products on hand at all times to allow us to ship out most orders the day they are received or the next day in the majority of cases, however a delay of 2-3 days or even a week can happen for new molds the first week they are released, popular molds that have been posted/shared in a large community causing a surge of demand, a large order with multiple copies of the same mold, etc. Our current processing time is 1-5 business days. It is very rare that any of our orders will take longer than a week to process, but if something comes up where your product will be delayed that long we will do our best to reach out and let you know the orders progress along the way! We use USPS for shipping, with most small orders going out as first class mail, usually arriving in 2-4 business days.
