Product Description

What is isopropyl myristate?

Isopropyl Myristate is a versatile ingredient used in the making of candles and scented diffusers. It is an ester derived from myristic acid and isopropyl alcohol, which acts as an excellent fragrance dispersing agent. Thanks to its ability to effectively diffuse fragrances, Isopropyl Myristate is ideal for improving the diffusion of fragrances in candles and diffusers, creating a fragrant and soothing ambiance in any space. Its compatibility with a variety of essential oils and aromas makes it a valuable choice for candle makers and diffuser manufacturers concerned about the quality of their scented products.

What is the dosage of isopropyl myristate?

The dosage of Isopropyl Myristate may vary depending on the specific formulation of your candle or scented diffuser, as well as the desired fragrance concentration. Typically, Isopropyl Myristate is used in small quantities, usually between 1% and 5% of the total formulation. However, it is essential to carry out your own testing at home as dosages can vary depending on the types of fragrances, essential oils and other ingredients you use.

Use Isopropyl Myristate in a candle and scented diffuser

For a candle:

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Gather all the ingredients needed to make your candle, including wax, wick, fragrance, and of course, Isopropyl Myristate.
  2. Melt the wax: Use a safe method to melt your wax (in a double boiler or microwave) until it is completely liquid.
  3. Add Isopropyl Myristate: When the wax is still hot and liquid, add the Isopropyl Myristate. The amount will depend on your recipe, but is generally between 1% and 5% of the total formulation. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the Isopropyl Myristate.
  4. Add the scent: Then add your perfume or essential oil to the wax, following the dosage recommendations in your recipe. Mix carefully so that the fragrance is well distributed.
  5. Place the wick: Secure the wick to the bottom of your candle container, then pour the scented wax into the container around the wick.
  6. Leave to cool: Allow the candle to cool and harden for several hours or overnight.
  7. Cut the wick: Once the candle has cooled, trim the wick approximately 1cm above the surface of the candle.
  8. Light the candle: Your candle is now ready to light and diffuse the scent.

For a scented diffuser:

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Gather the necessary items for your diffuser, including the diffuser itself, diffusing sticks (or other media), fragrance, and Isopropyl Myristate.
  2. Mix the perfume: In a container, mix the perfume or essential oils with the Isopropyl Myristate. The dosage will depend on the specific recipe you follow, but it is generally between 1% and 5% of the total formulation. Mix well for uniform dispersion.
  3. Fill the diffuser: Pour the fragrance and Isopropyl Myristate mixture into the diffuser, using a funnel if necessary.
  4. Insert the sticks: Place the diffusing sticks into the diffuser, letting them soak in the scent mixture.
  5. Broadcast: The sticks will absorb the scent mixture and release it into the air. Turn the sticks periodically to enhance the diffusion of the scent.
  6. Interview : When the scent mixture diminishes, simply add a little more mixture into the diffuser to extend the life of the diffuser.
