  • Applications

    Methylcyclohexyl laurate (CAS number: 74411-09-9) is commonly used as a fragrance ingredient and fixative in perfumery; it is also employed as an emollient and a mild solvent in cosmetics and personal care formulations. It can act as a carrier solvent for aroma compounds and may serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of ester- and fragrance-related components. In household products, it can be present as a fragrance oil component or carrier oil, contributing to texture and scent delivery. These roles are typical of ester-based hydrocarbons in fragrance and cosmetic applications, and use may be subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
