  • Applications

    5-Hydroxy-p-mentha-6,8-dien-2-one (CAS 56423-48-4) is used primarily as an aroma-related intermediate and fragrance component in perfumery; it may serve as a fragrance ingredient or a synthetic building block for related aroma compounds. In cosmetics and personal care, it may be evaluated for use as a scent ingredient in creams, lotions, and hair care products, subject to regulatory limits. In household products, it can function as a fragrance additive to impart minty/herbal notes in cleaners and air fresheners, within formulation regulations. In industrial manufacturing, it can act as an intermediate for the synthesis of other monoterpene-derived aroma compounds and related chemicals used in flavors and fragrances. Its use is typically subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
