Description
Cyclohexanol (CAS 108-93-0, EC 203-630-6, C6H12O) is a monohydric alicyclic alcohol, also known commercially as Adronal, Hexalin, and Naxol. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 2906 12 00 for customs and trade purposes.
In personal care formulations, cyclohexanol functions as a solvent carrier, improving the dispersion of fragrance compounds and active ingredients across the skin surface. It also acts as a humectant, helping retain moisture in the skin matrix. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as a process solvent in synthesis and extraction steps where controlled polarity is required.
Cyclohexanol is supplied in technical and cosmetic grades, with compliance documentation available under REACH regulation. It is handled as a liquid after melting and is typically packaged in drums or IBCs suited to temperature-controlled storage. Buyers should confirm grade specification against Ph.Eur. or internal formulation standards prior to procurement.
