3,7-Dimethyl-7-hydroxyoctanal, commonly known as Hydroxycitronellal, is a widely used synthetic fragrance compound with the molecular formula C₁₀H₂₀O₂ and molecular weight 172.26 g/mol. It is a colorless to slightly yellow liquid with a sweet, floral, and citrus-like aroma, often described as reminiscent of lily of the valley. As a key ingredient in perfumery, cosmetics, and household products, hydroxycitronellal is prized for its delicate scent and excellent performance in formulations.
Hydroxycitronellal is extensively used in the fragrance industry due to its long-lasting floral character. It is a staple in:
Fine perfumes and eaux de toilette
Floral fragrance blends (especially lily, muguet, and jasmine accords)
Personal care products like shampoos, conditioners, and lotions
Fabric softeners, detergents, and air fresheners
Its mild and stable scent makes it an ideal heart note that blends well with citrus, green, and woody ingredients.
In cosmetics, hydroxycitronellal is used primarily for fragrance purposes, enhancing the olfactory appeal of:
Moisturizers and skin creams
Soaps and bath products
Hair care formulations
It provides a fresh and clean floral nuance, contributing to a premium sensory experience.
Besides its olfactory functions, hydroxycitronellal offers good stability, low volatility, and compatibility with a broad range of raw materials, making it suitable for:
Scented candles and home fragrance oils
Cleaning agents with floral profiles
Industrial perfumery and synthetic aroma chemicals manufacturing
It is also used as a starting material or modifying agent in the synthesis of more complex aroma molecules.
Hydroxycitronellal is regulated by IFRA (International Fragrance Association) due to potential skin sensitization in high concentrations. Its use is limited in leave-on products and should follow recommended guidelines for safe usage.
Store hydroxycitronellal in cool, well-sealed containers, away from light, air, and moisture. It should be handled under proper ventilation, and packaging is typically done in aluminum drums or HDPE containers.
