Description

Geraniol is a naturally occurring monoterpenoid and a primary component of rose oil, palmarosa oil, and citronella oil, prized for its characteristic rose-like aroma. This versatile compound serves as a fundamental building block in fragrance creation and as a key intermediate in the synthesis of more complex aroma chemicals and vitamins. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking a high-purity, naturally derived ingredient.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: A primary alcohol used as a core ingredient in perfumes, soaps, detergents, and personal care products for its fresh, floral rose scent.
• Flavor Enhancement: Employed as a flavoring agent in food and beverages to impart fruity and citrus notes, compliant with food-grade specifications.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Used in creams, lotions, and skincare formulations for its aromatic properties and as a natural component.
• Chemical Synthesis: A valuable intermediate in the production of other terpenoids, citral, and vitamins such as Vitamin E and Vitamin A.
• Pheromone & Insect Attractant: Utilized in agricultural products and research as a component in insect pheromone blends and attractants.
• Aromatherapy & Essential Oils: Serves as a key constituent in therapeutic essential oil blends and diffuser products.
