Description

Citronellol (CAS 106-22-9 ) is a naturally derived acyclic monoterpene alcohol used as a fragrance ingredient across personal care, fine fragrance, and household product formulations. It delivers a fresh, rosy-floral scent character that underpins a broad range of consumer and industrial fragrance applications. In personal care, it is a core building block in floral and green fragrance accords. This material is frequently utilized in perfumes, lotions, shampoos, and soaps. Coatings and printing ink formulators incorporate it as a reactive diluent and cross-linking component for specialized systems. Its alcohol functionality contributes to cure performance in UV and oxidative systems. In adhesives and sealants, it functions as a reactive modifier that influences network formation during curing processes. Its fragrance profile also makes it a standard ingredient in household cleaners, fabric softeners, and air care products where scent longevity and character are purchase-critical factors for consumers. The product is supplied as a clear, mobile liquid in drum and IBC quantities suited to industrial procurement volumes. It is available in both natural and synthetic grades for various needs. Natural-origin material commands relevance for clean-label and natural fragrance positioning. Standard quality specifications align with ISO fragrance industry benchmarks for consistent manufacturing results. Material is routinely offered with full documentation supporting IFRA compliance and natural origin certification. This ensures the highest level of safety and transparency for global chemical supply chains. Contact us for supply of Citronellol Request Quote
