About
A C14 ketone fraction (mixture) used for peach-coconut fragrance notes. Long-chain, low-volatility, with fair perfumery safety track record.
C14 ketones (CAS 68458-86-6) is a trade-fraction mixture of C14 ketones — often including gamma-undecalactone-adjacent materials — used in perfumery for peach, coconut, and creamy lactone-ketone notes. As a mixture, exact toxicology depends on composition. Long-chain ketones generally have low reactivity and limited dermal penetration, supporting a reasonable safety profile. Public SCCS/CIR data for the specific trade fraction is limited; fragrance industry handles these materials under RIFM/IFRA. Default-yellow reflects the mixture uncertainty and data sparsity rather than identified hazards.
