About
A fragrance acetal derived from dihydrogeranial (a citrus component) used as a perfuming agent in cosmetic formulations.
Dihydrogeranial diphenethyl acetal is the acetal of dihydrogeranial (a hydrogenated monoterpene aldehyde found in citrus oils) with phenethyl alcohol. Acetals are more stable than their parent aldehydes and release the aldehyde slowly. No EU Annex restrictions apply and no GHS hazard classifications are listed, placing it in the common cosmetic ingredient range for fragrance materials.
