  • Applications

    Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, cyclohexyl ester (CAS 25485-88-5) is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient and fixative in perfumery, helping to extend scent persistence with floral and balsamic notes; it is commonly formulated into cosmetics and personal care products such as lotions, creams, and shampoos to impart a lasting fragrance; it is also employed in household and air-care products like detergents, surface cleaners, and fabric refreshers for scent enhancement; in industrial manufacturing it acts as an intermediate for the synthesis of other benzoate fragrance materials; and it can find use as a fragrance additive in coatings and inks formulations.
