alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde

Alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde (CAS 101-86-0), also known commercially as alpha-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde, is a synthetic fragrance aldehyde widely recognized for its warm, floral-jasmine scent profile. It functions as both a fragrance ingredient in personal care formulations and a UV-absorbing stabilizer in polymer and coating systems. In personal care, it is used to impart jasmine-type floral notes.

This ingredient is found in fine fragrances, body lotions, soaps, and shampoos, where it contributes to both top and heart note development. Polymer and plastics manufacturers incorporate it as a UV stabilizer. This application protects materials from photodegradation during outdoor exposure, extending product service life. In printing inks and packaging coatings, it supports light stability in pigmented systems.

This is particularly useful where UV-induced color fading is a quality concern. Food-grade applications include its use as a flavoring agent in baked goods, confectionery, and beverages. In these applications, it delivers subtle floral-fruity character at low use levels. Alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid for industrial and commercial use.

It is available in cosmetic/fragrance grade and food-grade specifications, with the latter conforming to standards recognized by regulatory bodies governing flavor ingredients. Bulk supply is typically offered in drums or intermediate bulk containers. Our material meets rigorous quality benchmarks to ensure consistency across all manufacturing batches and applications.
