Explore Top-Quality Hexyl Salicylate with Aure Chemical
Hexyl Salicylate (Hexyl 2-Hydroxybenzoate, CAS 6259-76-3) is a high-tenacity aromatic ester widely used in modern perfumery for its excellent performance in functional products. It is a colorless to pale yellow, slightly viscous liquid with a mild, sweet, herbaceous, and clean floral odor that is less metallic and softer than Amyl Salicylate. Hexyl Salicylate is a crucial base note and fixative, providing superior stability and persistence, making it integral to fougère, green, and aquatic accords. Aure Chemical guarantees a premium, high-purity product with full Kosher and Halal certifications.

Application Overview
Hexyl Salicylate's low volatility and excellent stability make it a preferred base note material for functional and fine fragrances demanding longevity and freshness:
Functional Fragrances (Laundry/Cleaning): Its superior chemical stability against heat, alkalinity, and bleach ensures it performs reliably in high-pH matrices like laundry detergents, powdered cleansers, and strong bar soaps, providing a lasting, fresh scent.
Fine Fragrances (Modern Fougère): Used extensively in modern fougère, aquatic, and green-herbal scents. It softens the traditional fougère structure and adds a clean, watery freshness, acting as a bridge between the heart and base notes.
Sun Care Products: Due to the salicylate structure, it provides a subtle fixative function in sunscreens and other emulsified cosmetics while contributing a clean scent.
Perfumery Fixative: Its high boiling point and low vapor pressure make it an excellent fixative, extending the perception of more volatile citrus and herbal top notes.
