Description

Celestolide CAS NO 13171-00-1 is a high-purity synthetic musk belonging to the polycyclic musk family, valued for its exceptional stability and long-lasting, clean, and musky fragrance profile. It is a critical ingredient for creating sophisticated, modern scent bases that are resistant to oxidation and maintain their character in complex formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance and flavor industry, particularly for high-end perfumery, personal care products, and functional household goods requiring a persistent and diffusive musk note.

Application

• Fine Fragrance & Perfumery: A key base note in premium perfumes, eau de toilettes, and colognes, providing a warm, persistent musk foundation.
• Personal Care Products: Used in soaps, shampoos, conditioners, deodorants, and body lotions to impart a long-lasting, clean scent that survives wash-off.
• Household & Industrial Products: Incorporated into laundry detergents, fabric softeners, air fresheners, and cleaning agents for enduring fragrance efficacy.
• Functional Product Masking: Effectively masks base odors in technical products, polymers, and coatings while adding a pleasant olfactory character.
• Cosmetic Stabilizer: Its chemical stability makes it suitable for cosmetic formulations where pH variations and other ingredients might degrade less stable musks.
