Slip & Shine Booster

Isopropyl myristate is what is called a “dry oil”.   It is a plant based material that has been modified to make it feel very light, silky & drier than regular vegetable oils. This material has a very light lubricious feel and good shine.   This ingredient can be added to many of our hair and body products to add a little bit of slip and shine. This material can also be added to our edge controls, pomades and styling clay to make a bit softer, spread better, and add some more moisture which helps the hair be less frizzy and edges to stay down longer.
