Applications
2-Hydroxy-2-phenylethyl n-butyrate is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient, contributing floral notes and occasionally functioning as a fixative to extend aroma longevity in perfumery and cosmetics. It is commonly evaluated for use in cosmetics and personal care products such as lotions and bath products, as well as in household products like air fresheners and cleaners to impart a lasting fragrance. In industrial manufacturing, it may serve as an aroma-related intermediate or processing aid in fragrance synthesis and can be added to coatings and inks as a fragrance additive. It can also act as a solvent or co-solvent in specialty formulations where compatible.
