Join me for a closer look at isopropyl esters, these gorgeous inexpensive, fast-spreading, non-greasy, non-waxy, non-draggy, slippery, silky emollients that’ll offer a very light non-oily feeling on our skin, no matter the product. 

In this e-book, we’re meeting the isopropyl esters – isopropyl myristate (IPM), isopropyl myristate (IPP), isopropyl stearate (IPS), and isopropyl isostearate (IPIS). You’ll learn what they are and how to use them 26 formulas for body oils, balms, lotions, and a very special “magnesium oil” emulsion. (I’ve shared 6 ingredient lotions so you can really feel the difference these esters make.)

  • 26 formulas for body oils, balms, “magnesium oil” lotion, and other 6 ingredient lotions
  • 137 pages
  • Almost 36,000 words! Wow! 
  • And so many charts – huge emollients comparison chart, butter comparison chart, and melting profile charts along with my preservative comparison chart and ingredient profile chart for each isopropyl ester, all updated for 2026. (Yeah, I’m addicted to charts. They’re just so much fun!) 

As always, you’ll learn a base formula along with modified formulas to suit different skin types to you can customize all of them for your hair and skin type and ingredients you have in your workshop! 

About the author

Susan Barclay Nichols lives in the Fraser Valley, B.C., Canada.  She stumbled upon a recipe for bath bombs and became obsessed with creating bath and body products. This is when her extreme interest in chemistry began. 

In 2009, she started Point of Interest, a bath and body products blog to share her love of creating products. Her favorite hobbies – other than creating bath and body products – include sewing, trivia, criticizing and correcting people’s grammar and spelling, and striving to achieve expert status on bass in Rock Band 3. She lives with her wonderful husband, Raymond and their adorable dog, Sasja.

Because of the downloadable nature of this product, e-zines and e-books are final sale, and therefore not eligible for a refund.
