ACETYLISOPROPYLTETRAMETHYLINDANE

Description

Acetylisopropyltetramethylindane, also known as AIPTI, is a synthetic fragrance ingredient commonly used in skincare and personal care products. This colorless to pale yellow liquid possesses a woody, amber-like scent with subtle floral undertones. AIPTI belongs to the family of polycyclic musk compounds and is prized for its long-lasting fragrance profile and stability in various formulations.

In skincare applications, AIPTI serves primarily as a fixative, helping to extend the longevity of other fragrance components in the product. Its low volatility ensures that the scent remains consistent throughout the product's use. This ingredient is particularly useful in leave-on products such as moisturizers, serums, and body lotions, where a persistent fragrance is desired.

AIPTI has a low potential for skin irritation and sensitization, making it suitable for use in a wide range of skincare formulations. However, as with all fragrance ingredients, patch testing is recommended for individuals with sensitive skin or a history of allergic reactions. The typical concentration of AIPTI in finished products ranges from 0.1% to 1%, depending on the desired intensity and overall fragrance composition.
