About
A saturated tertiary alcohol derived from linalool, used as a fragrance ingredient with a fresh, floral, and slightly woody scent profile and no significant hazard classification.
Tetrahydrolinalool is the fully saturated derivative of linalool, produced by hydrogenation of the double bonds. This structural change eliminates the potential for autoxidation sensitization that can occur with linalool and linalyl acetate upon air exposure, making it a safer alternative for fragrance compositions. It is not subject to EU cosmetic restrictions and is considered safe at normal fragrance-use concentrations.
