Isopropyl Laurate (IPL) is a light, fast-spreading ester of isopropyl alcohol and lauric acid. It is widely used in cosmetic and personal care products as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. It reduces greasiness, enhances spreadability, and gives a silky, smooth after-feel. Isopropyl Laurate also serves as a solvent and carrier for actives and fragrances.
