It is one of the components of a semi-solid matrix and can also be used as a solvent for many substances in topical administration preparations.

There are also applications in mixed liquids. Isopropyl myristate can be used as a penetration enhancer in transdermal absorption preparations and can be used in combination with therapeutic ultrasound and iontophoresis. Isopropyl myristate can be used as the main component of the oil phase in the water-oil gel sustained-release milk.

Isopropyl myristate is an emollient. Along with vitamin E acetate, isopropyl myristate helps smooth skin. Carbomer is a thickening agent that causes the gel-like texture in hand sanitisers, and triethanolamine functions as a pH adjuster as well as promoting emulsification
