Description

Santalol is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol, prized for its warm, woody, and balsamic aroma profile. This compound is a key fragrance ingredient, valued for its fixative properties and ability to impart a long-lasting, creamy-sweet character to complex scent formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the perfumery, cosmetics, and aromatherapy industries seeking high-quality natural odorants.

Application

• Fine Fragrance & Perfumery: A core component in woody, oriental, and sandalwood-type fragrance accords for perfumes, colognes, and eau de toilettes.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used as a fragrance ingredient and natural fixative in lotions, creams, soaps, and deodorants.
• Aromatherapy & Wellness Products: Incorporated into essential oil blends, diffuser oils, and massage oils for its purported calming and grounding aromatic properties.
• Flavoring Agent: Employed in minute quantities to provide subtle woody nuances in certain specialty food and beverage flavorings.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a valuable chiral starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of other fragrance compounds and fine chemicals.

Quality Control

Our Santalol is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for fragrance and cosmetic applications. Each batch is analyzed to ensure consistent purity, odor profile, and chemical identity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications for isomer ratio, purity, and physical constants is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, an inert atmosphere (nitrogen blanket) is recommended to preserve quality and prevent degradation.
