About
A complex tricyclic aromatic alcohol used primarily as a fragrance component and fixative, lending a subtle woody-amber character to products.
Trimethyltricyclododecanol is a tricyclic sesquiterpene alcohol with a C14 skeleton (derived from tricyclic diterpenes such as abietane or strobane types). Structurally it is related to isolongifolanol and similar ambergris-type aroma chemicals. Functions as a fragrance ingredient and skin-conditioning agent. Specific toxicology data are limited; however, related tricyclic sesquiterpene alcohols are well-established fragrance materials with low irritation and sensitization potential at normal cosmetic use levels. Not restricted under EU cosmetic regulations.
