Description
DL-Isoborneol (CAS 124-76-5, EC 204-712-4) is a bicyclic terpene alcohol derived from camphor reduction, commercially identified under FEMA 2158 and also referred to as isocamphol or DL-isocamphal. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29061900.
In personal care formulations, DL-Isoborneol functions as a fragrance ingredient, contributing a fresh, camphoraceous odour profile to finished products. It also acts as a skin conditioner by supporting the solubilisation of other active ingredients, improving their distribution across the skin barrier. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it serves as a solvent and carrier for active compounds in topical preparations.
DL-Isoborneol is supplied as a white to almost white crystalline powder meeting REACH compliance requirements for the European market. Procurement teams should confirm whether the required grade aligns with FCC or Ph.Eur. specifications prior to ordering. Standard packaging formats vary by supplier volume tier.
