Product name: Nerolidol
English alias: 3,7,11-Trimethyl-1,6,10-dodecatrien-3-ol; Perubalenol; Penetrol
CAS: 7212-44-4
Molecular formula: C15H26O
Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid
Package: 25kg/drum
Nerolidol is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene alcohol found in the essential oils of many flowers and plants, such as neroli, ginger, jasmine, lavender, tea tree, and lemongrass. It exists in two isomeric forms: cis-Nerolidol and trans-Nerolidol, both of which are known for their subtle floral, woody aroma. It is commonly used as a fragrance enhancer and penetration enhancer in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and agricultural applications.
Nerolidol is valued for its anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and skin-penetration enhancing properties. It is commonly added to personal care products like lotions, creams, shampoos, and perfumes. In agriculture, it is also used as a natural pesticide and synergist.
Its chemical formula is C15H26O, and it typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow oily liquid with a mild, floral scent.
Number | Item | Specification | Result |
1 | Appearance | Colorless to pale yellow liquid | Pale yellow liquid |
2 | Purity (GC) (%) | ≥95.0 | 96.38 |
3 | Refractive Index | 1.480 – 1.490 | 1.485 |
4 | Specific Gravity | 0.880 – 0.890 | 0.886 |
5 | Acid Value (mg KOH/g) | ≤1.0 | 0.3 |
Conclusion | PASS |
1Nerolidol used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes, soaps, and cosmetic products for its floral, woody scent
2 Functions as a skin penetration enhancer in transdermal drug delivery and cosmetic formulations
3Nerolidol used in personal care products such as lotions, deodorants, shampoos, and creams
4Nerolidol acts as an insect repellent and is used in natural pest control formulations
5 Nerolidol exhibits anti-fungal and antimicrobial properties, useful in topical formulations
6 Nerolidol used as an intermediate in the synthesis of aroma chemicals and other fine chemicals
Nerolidol is generally recognized as safe when used in appropriate concentrations. It is non-toxic and non-sensitizing for most users, though mild skin irritation may occur in sensitive individuals. A patch test is recommended before widespread cosmetic use. It is biodegradable and considered safe for the environment under normal usage conditions.
