About
Aromatic water distilled from lychee fruit — captures the fruit's scent compounds and trace antioxidants, used primarily as a natural fragrance and skin-conditioning component.
Litchi chinensis water is the aqueous steam distillate of lychee fruit, a member of the Sapindaceae family. The process captures volatile aroma compounds including linalool and terpenoids, along with trace water-soluble fruit constituents. It functions as a fragrance ingredient and mild skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations. CAS 91722-81-5 corresponds to the distillate; it is not considered a sensitizer at typical cosmetic use levels.
