GALAXOLIDE(CAS#1222-05-5) introduce
GALAXOLIDE, chemical name 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethylcyclopentano[g]benzopyran, CAS number 1222-05-5, is a synthetic fragrance.
It has an extremely intense and persistent aroma, often described as sweet, warm, woody and slightly musky, and can be perceived by the olfactory sense at very low concentrations. The stability of this fragrance is excellent, adapting to different formulation environments, and maintaining its aromatic properties under both acidic and alkaline conditions.
GALAXOLIDE is used in a wide range of cosmetics and is a key fragrance ingredient in many perfumes, shower gels, shampoos, laundry detergents and other products, giving products a captivating and long-lasting fragrance that greatly enhances the consumer experience. Due to its excellent fragrance fixing properties, users can still feel the residual delicate aroma even after a long time after the product has been used.
However, with the increasing concern about the environment and health, there are studies to explore the cumulative effects of GALAXOLIDE in the environment and its potential biological impacts, but it is generally considered a safe and reliable fragrance ingredient within the prescribed use range, and continues to play an important role in the blending of modern fragrances.
