Allios™ 9310 (Isopropyl Myristate)

Allios™ 9310 (Isopropyl Myristate) is a versatile ingredient widely used in personal care and cosmetics for its numerous benefits. Firstly, it acts as an emollient, providing a non-greasy and smooth texture to lotions and creams, enhancing the skin's moisture retention. Secondly, it facilitates better absorption of products into the skin, making it an excellent carrier for active ingredients. Additionally, it helps in reducing the greasy feel of other components in formulations, thereby improving the overall sensory experience. Its ability to dissolve other substances also makes it effective as a cleansing agent, capable of removing dirt, oil, and makeup efficiently. Lastly, it is non-comedogenic, meaning it doesn’t clog pores, which makes it suitable for use in products targeting acne-prone skin.
