About
A saturated sesquiterpene acetate with a fresh, citrus-woody character, used in fragrances; no EU regulatory restrictions and a favorable safety profile at cosmetic use levels.
Dihydrocitronellyl acetate is the saturated derivative of citronellyl acetate, providing a cleaner, more citrus-forward fragrance profile without the double-bond oxidation risks of the unsaturated parent. CosIng shows no EU regulatory restrictions. The saturated structure eliminates the hydroperoxide sensitization risk associated with the unsaturated analogue, making it a safer choice among fragrance acetates in the citronellol family.
Skin benefits
- Fresh citrus-woody fragrance
