Citronellol CAS 106-22-9 Wholesale & Bulk

Citronellol (CAS 106-22-9) is a naturally occurring acyclic monoterpenoid alcohol with the molecular formula C₁₀H₂₀O. It is a colourless oily liquid featuring a mild rose-like and fresh citrus odour. This substance can be extracted from citronella oil, rose oil and geranium oil; industrial-grade citronellol is commonly produced through chemical synthesis.
It is barely soluble in water but miscible with ethanol, ether and most flavour and fragrance solvents. As a vital aroma ingredient, it is extensively applied in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps and food flavourings. Moreover, it possesses mild insect-repellent properties and is added to some insect repellent formulations.
Nevertheless, citronellol is recognised as a potential skin sensitiser. Regulatory authorities require manufacturers to mark its presence on product labels and limit its usage concentration to avoid allergic reactions among consumers.


Citronellol is a crucial fragrance raw material with wide commercial uses.
Primarily, it serves as a base aroma component for floral fragrances bearing rose notes. It is broadly incorporated into perfumes, body lotions, shampoos, soaps and other cosmetic and personal care products. It is also utilised in food and beverage flavourings to enrich fruity and floral taste profiles.
In addition to flavour and fragrance sectors, citronellol exhibits natural insect repellent activity. It is added to plant-based mosquito and insect repellent formulations. It acts as a key synthetic intermediate to manufacture other fine chemicals, such as citronellal and menthol.
Important regulatory note: Citronellol is a known skin sensitiser. Formulators must comply with regional cosmetic regulations, restrict dosage and clearly declare the ingredient on labels to prevent allergic contact dermatitis.
