Isopropyl Myristate

Isopropyl Myristate is a compound derived from isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid. It is used as a treatment for head lice, in tick and flea products for pets, as a solvent in perfumes, and in cosmetics and topical medicines where good absorption through the skin is desired. Isopropyl Myristate should be used with caution as combining it with some toxic materials will cause the skin to absorb them more easily.
