Application Overview
Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde's high stability and persistent, appealing aroma make it one of the most heavily used ingredients across functional and fine fragrances:
Fine Fragrances: It is indispensable in jasmine, tuberose, and gardenia accords, where it provides volume, sweetness, and a realistic floral lift. It also acts as an excellent fixative in many non-floral compositions.
Soaps and Detergents: Due to its exceptional stability against oxidation and alkalinity, HCA is a workhorse in laundry detergents, fabric softeners, and bar soaps, where it delivers a clean, fresh floral signature that endures processing and storage.
Cosmetics and Personal Care: It is widely used in creams, lotions, shampoos, and antiperspirants to provide a subtle, universally appealing floral background. It is a declared allergen under EU regulation, and its use is strictly compliant with IFRA standards.
Building Block: It combines well with many other aroma chemicals, smoothing out harsh notes and adding a natural-smelling, green-waxy component to almost any fragrance composition.
