Geranyl acetate

Geranyl acetate (CAS 105-87-3), also known by its FEMA 2509 designation, is a naturally occurring ester used as a fragrance and flavoring ingredient across personal care, food, and home care markets.

It delivers a fresh, floral-rosy scent profile that forms the backbone of rose, lavender, and citrus-type compositions. In fine fragrance and personal care formulations, it contributes top-to-heart floral notes.

This versatile ingredient is commonly found in perfumes, lotions, and hair care products. Food and beverage manufacturers use it as a flavoring agent in fruit preparations, confectionery, and baked goods.

It is ideal for applications where a light citrus-floral character is required. Home care formulators incorporate it into fabric softeners, air fresheners, and surface cleaners to deliver a recognizable floral scent.

The compound performs effectively even at low use levels. It also functions as a natural-origin ingredient in products positioned for botanical or clean-label fragrance lines, appealing to modern consumers.

The product is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. It is available in fragrance-grade and food-grade specifications to meet the requirements of both flavor houses and cosmetic manufacturers.

Bulk supply is standard in drums and IBCs, with smaller pack sizes available for laboratory or development use. This ensures flexibility for large-scale production and specialized research projects alike.
