Phenethyl Phenylacetate (PEPA) is an aromatic ester widely used in the fragrance and flavor industry. Known for its pleasant, floral-honey-like aroma with a mild rose and hyacinth nuance, it is a preferred ingredient in fine perfumery and high-end personal care products. The chemical is synthesized through esterification of phenethyl alcohol and phenylacetic acid. Its molecular formula is C16H16O2 and it typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid.
PEPA is valued for its stability, excellent scent profile, and compatibility with a wide range of essential oils and synthetic aromatic compounds. In addition to perfumery, it may also be used as a fixative or modifier in cosmetics, soaps, and detergents, enhancing longevity and complexity of fragrance compositions.
Inspection Item | Specification | Test Result |
Appearance | Colorless to pale yellow liquid or semi-solid | Conforms |
Odor | Rose, hyacinth-like aroma | Conforms |
Relative Density | 1.0780 ~ 1.083 | 1.0782 |
Refractive Index (20°C) | 1.545 ~ 1.551 | 1.549 |
Content (by GC, %) | ≥98% | 99.10% |
Acid Value (mg KOH/g) | ≤1.0 | 0.12 |
Perfumery: Widely used as a fragrance ingredient in fine perfumes, especially in floral, honeyed, or oriental accords.
Personal Care Products: Acts as a fragrance enhancer and fixative in creams, lotions, shampoos, and deodorants.
Soap and Detergent Manufacturing: Improves fragrance longevity and overall scent appeal in soaps and fabric softeners.
Flavoring Agent: Occasionally used in food-grade applications to provide floral and sweet flavor notes (check regional regulations).
Cosmetics: Enhances the scent profile in lipsticks, balms, and high-end cosmetic formulations.
Industrial Fragrance Uses: Used in aromatherapy products, scented candles, and air fresheners.
Phenethyl Phenylacetate is generally considered safe when used in recommended concentrations. It has low toxicity and is non-sensitizing for most users, though skin patch testing is recommended for sensitive individuals. As with many fragrance ingredients, it should be used according to IFRA guidelines.
