GERANIOL 98% Pure

Product Details:

Geraniol is a natural organic compound classified as a monoterpene alcohol. It is found in various essential oils, including rose oil, citronella oil, and geranium oil, from which it derives its name. Geraniol is responsible for the characteristic floral aroma of many plants and is widely used in the fragrance and flavor industries.

Here are some key points about geraniol:

1. Aroma: Geraniol has a sweet, floral scent reminiscent of roses, with citrusy undertones. It is commonly used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes, colognes, cosmetics, and household products. Its pleasant aroma makes it a popular choice for adding a floral note to a wide range of products.
2. Flavoring Agent: In addition to its use in fragrances, geraniol is used as a flavoring agent in the food and beverage industry. It is often added to confectionery, baked goods, beverages, and dairy products to impart a floral and fruity flavor.
3. Insect Repellent: Geraniol is known for its insect repellent properties. It is commonly used as an active ingredient in insect repellent sprays, lotions, and candles to repel mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects. It is considered a safer alternative to synthetic insecticides and is widely used in natural and organic insect repellent formulations.
4. Antimicrobial Properties: Some studies suggest that geraniol exhibits antimicrobial properties, which may help inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. It is sometimes used as a natural preservative in cosmetic and personal care products to prevent microbial contamination.
5. Medicinal Uses: Geraniol has been studied for its potential medicinal properties, including its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects. It may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of various health conditions, although further research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms of action and potential applications.
6. Solvent and Intermediate: Geraniol serves as a solvent in certain applications and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. It is used in the production of fragrances, flavors, and various chemical derivatives.

While geraniol is generally regarded as safe for use in food, cosmetics, and household products when used in accordance with regulatory guidelines, it may cause skin irritation or sensitization in some individuals, particularly in its pure form. As with any chemical compound, it’s essential to handle geraniol with care and use it responsibly.
