Applications
Neomenthol is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics, contributing a minty note to fragrances, lotions, and other personal care formulations. It is also evaluated for flavor/aroma applications in food-related formulations on a conservative basis. In industrial manufacturing, neomenthol can serve as an intermediate or building block for menthol-related syntheses and other terpenoid compounds. It may also be considered as a fragrance or odorant additive in household products, coatings, and inks, and could be explored as a starting material in polymer and plastic chemistry.
