About
A fragrance ester from hexahydro-methanoinden-5-ol and pivalic acid, used as a perfume ingredient.
Hexahydro-methanoinden-5-yl pivalate is a fragrance ester formed from hexahydro-methanoinden-5-ol and pivalic (trimethylacetic) acid, used as a perfume component for its herbal-floral odor profile. Pivalate esters are generally stable in cosmetic formulations due to steric bulk of the trimethylacetyl group resisting hydrolysis. It is not subject to specific EU cosmetic restrictions but must be declared as a fragrance ingredient.
