"Very disappointed "
COMMENTS: It’s a great product and an outrageous price (now). I wish I had never discovered this because it made my body butters the best in town, but at $27/pound I’d have to charge my customers an exorbitant price & I won’t do that.

"Great additive! "
COMMENTS: A little goes a long way and it works really well at decreasing or eliminating the greasy feel some lotions & especially body butters can have. I've used this in solid lotion bars, butters, lotions & perfume, and it works like a charm! One small bottle has lasted me through several projects, so it's very economical too! An inexpensive way to add a nice, silky-soft feel to one's products without any excess greasiness! In perfume, it goes on feeling more like a dry oil... Soft & powdery without being the least bit drying to the skin!

"tried, liked, buying more!"
COMMENTS: I bought this to use in a handmade cream that helps eczema. I had a customer who has a 17-year old daughter who suffered from severe eczema on her face, especially around/on her lips that would bleed in the wintertime. I made the cream and added IM to the formulation in hopes that it would tone down the oily look/feel of all the oils I used. Within a week, she said her daughter's eczema had cleared and when I asked about oiliness, she said that was not an issue. So I guess I'm sold!

COMMENTS: Added this at a rate of 1% for 1 gallons worth of lotion, although it dis cause kynlotion to be a little to runny, it's worth it to have the nice silky feeling it gives when applying it to your skin, plan to try it in my body Butters at a lower rate and hope it doesn't cause the same issue

"Does what it says"
COMMENTS: I mixed up 16 ounces of lotion from scratch, incorporating isopropyl myristate into the recipe. Compared to lotions I've made in the past without this product, there is a noticable difference in the silkiness of the finished product containing isopropyl myristate. The finished lotion did not have a 'drag' to it. Will order more.

"Isopropyl Myristate"
COMMENTS: Was hesitant to using any other products in my lotions, but really wanted something that would help with the tackiness that All natural Goats Milk lotions have, no matter what the oil blend. This did the trick and has bumped up the quality significantly!! I only use it at 2% but even that small amount makes a huge difference. Is not a permanent ingredient in my lotion base. Priced cost effective for a small business in its start up stages.
