Hydroxycitronellol

Hydroxycitronellol (CAS 107-74-4), also known by FEMA 2586, is a fragrance alcohol used across personal care, flavor, and pharmaceutical applications. It delivers a soft, clean floral character that makes it a recognized building block in perfumery and flavor compounding.

In fine fragrance and personal care formulations, it contributes a delicate lily-of-the-valley note to perfumes, lotions, and skin care products. Flavor manufacturers use it as an approved FEMA ingredient in food and beverage applications.

This versatile chemical is ideal for scenarios where a light floral-green character is required. Its solvent and carrier properties support active ingredient delivery in topical pharmaceutical preparations and cosmetic bases.

In printing and packaging, it functions as a solvent component in ink and coating formulations. This is particularly useful where low odor profile and compatibility with resins are priorities for the manufacturer.

Hydroxycitronellol is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. Fragrance-grade and flavor-grade specifications are the standard commercial forms available from fragrance ingredient suppliers for various industries.

Technical-grade material is also available for industrial solvent applications in printing and coatings. This ensures that the product meets the specific needs of heavy industrial and chemical processing sectors.
