  • Applications

    10-Hydroxygeraniol (CAS 26488-98-2) is a monoterpenoid alcohol closely related to geraniol and is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient and a fragrance intermediate for high-end aroma compounds; in cosmetics and personal care, it may serve as a scent component or as a precursor for the synthesis of additional terpene-derived fragrances; it is also explored as a precursor for iridoid-type and other natural-product syntheses in industrial settings; it can be evaluated for use in household cleaning products as a scent ingredient; in broader industrial manufacturing, it functions as a building block for aroma-related intermediates. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
