Description

L-Trimethyl-3-cyclohexene-1-methyl acetate, also known as Verdox, is a synthetic fragrance ingredient commonly used in haircare and skincare formulations. This colorless to pale yellow liquid possesses a woody, amber-like scent with subtle floral undertones. Its molecular structure allows for excellent stability in various product bases, making it a versatile choice for formulators.

In haircare products, L-trimethyl-3-cyclohexene-1-methyl acetate serves as a long-lasting fragrance component, enhancing the overall sensory experience of shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. Its low volatility ensures that the scent persists throughout the day, contributing to the perceived efficacy of the product.

When used in skincare formulations, this ingredient imparts a pleasant aroma without compromising the integrity of active ingredients. It is generally well-tolerated by most skin types and has not been associated with significant irritation or allergic reactions. However, as with any fragrance ingredient, patch testing is recommended for individuals with sensitive skin.

L-Trimethyl-3-cyclohexene-1-methyl acetate is typically used in concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 1% in finished products, depending on the desired intensity of the fragrance and the specific formulation requirements.
