Aure Chemical Delivers Excellence in Dihydrocitronellol
Dihydrocitronellol, CAS 106-21-8, is a high-purity, primary alcohol widely used in the fragrance industry. It is the saturated counterpart of Citronellol, giving it a similar but cleaner and more stable rosy-citrus odor profile. It presents as a colorless, slightly viscous liquid. Dihydrocitronellol is valued for its exceptional stability and use as a soft, floral base note or modifier. Aure Chemical’s product is fully Halal certified, making it suitable for ethically sensitive product lines and global markets.

Application Overview
Dihydrocitronellol is a highly stable fragrance compound used across a wide spectrum of consumer products due to its clean aroma and chemical resilience:
Fine Fragrances: Used in both men's and women's fragrances, particularly in fresh, citrus, and light floral accords. It acts as an excellent modifier, smoothing out harsh notes and providing a long-lasting, clean base.
Soaps and Detergents: Its excellent stability in alkaline and oxidizing environments makes it ideal for use in bar soaps, liquid laundry detergents, and cleaning products, where many natural oils and unstable synthetics would quickly degrade.
Cosmetics and Personal Care: Incorporated into a variety of products, including deodorants, skin creams, and hair care, where it imparts a pleasant, mild scent without dominating the overall product formulation.
Insect Repellents: Dihydrocitronellol and its derivatives are often used as components in non-DEET insect repellent formulations due to their repellent properties combined with a more appealing odor than traditional alternatives.
Esters and Derivatives: It serves as an intermediate for the production of its corresponding esters (e.g., Dihydrocitronellyl Acetate), which have unique, often fruitier, odor profiles.
Why Choose Aure Chemical for Dihydrocitronellol?
Aure Chemical is committed to supplying Dihydrocitronellol (CAS 106-21-8) that meets the highest standards of purity, ethics, and performance for your global fragrance needs.
Guaranteed Halal Compliance: Our Dihydrocitronellol is produced and handled under strict protocols and is certified Halal by an accredited international body. This ensures full compliance with Islamic dietary and ethical standards, critical for brands targeting the Middle East and Southeast Asian markets.
Superior Olfactory Purity: We employ vacuum distillation and chromatographic purification to minimize trace impurities that can lead to off-notes (such as sharp green or metallic facets). This high level of purity guarantees a cleaner, more delicate rosy-citrus scent, enhancing the fidelity of your final fragrance blend.
Oxidative Stability Testing: Unlike less stable terpene alcohols, our Dihydrocitronellol is continuously monitored and tested for resistance to oxidation. We guarantee low peroxide and carbonyl content, which translates directly to a longer shelf life and better performance in your finished product, especially clear gels or oil-based formulations.
Cost-Effective and Reliable Supply: Utilizing an efficient, large-scale synthesis method, we provide a highly competitive price point while maintaining strict quality control. Our robust supply chain ensures consistent availability, mitigating the pricing and supply risks associated with natural raw materials.
