Triethyl Citrate (Synthetic) is a high-purity, biodegradable ingredient developed as a natural replacer, designed to deliver the same functional performance while ensuring consistency, availability, and formulation control. It is a colorless, nearly odorless liquid, making it an ideal neutral carrier for fine fragrance and cosmetic applications.
In perfumery, Triethyl Citrate is widely appreciated for its role as a solvent and fixative, enhancing the longevity and stability of volatile aromatic materials without altering their olfactory profile. Its excellent solubilizing properties make it particularly valuable in alcohol-free, low-odor, and modern clean-label compositions, where clarity and performance are essential.
Beyond fine fragrance, this material is extensively used in deodorants, skincare, and haircare, valued for its gentle, non-irritating nature and its contribution to odor-neutralizing systems through sweat-degrading mechanisms. The synthetic route ensures reliable quality, traceability, and batch-to-batch consistency while maintaining an eco-conscious profile.
Versatile, safe, and performance-driven, Triethyl Citrate (Synthetic) is an indispensable tool for formulators seeking a dependable alternative to naturally derived versions—delivering clean functionality without compromise.
