Isobornyl acetate
Description
Isobornyl acetate (CAS 125-12-2), also known by FEMA 2160, is a naturally occurring ester with a fresh, piney, camphoraceous odor profile that makes it a sought-after ingredient in flavor and fragrance formulation.
It occurs naturally in various essential oils and is produced synthetically for commercial supply at scale. In fine fragrance and functional fragrance applications, it contributes woody, forest-like top notes to perfumes and colognes.
It is also used in scented personal care products including shampoos, soaps, and deodorants. Flavor manufacturers use it to impart coniferous and herbal nuances in food and beverage products, particularly in confectionery and chewing gum.
It is frequently utilized in savory applications where pine or herbal character is required. In household and industrial products such as air fresheners and cleaning agents, it delivers long-lasting green-woody scent profiles.
Fabric care formulations also benefit from its aromatic properties. Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into lotions and creams where a fresh, outdoorsy fragrance note is part of the product brief to enhance the user experience.
Isobornyl acetate is supplied as a colorless to pale yellow liquid. It is available in fragrance-grade and food-grade specifications to meet the requirements of flavor houses and cosmetic manufacturers globally.
The material is produced to meet high quality standards for various industrial uses. Standard packaging ranges from small drums to bulk quantities depending on application volume and specific customer requirements.
