Description
Terpineol is an ingredient featuring a distinctive cool, pine-like scent, widely used in the fragrance industry. It is a key component in cleaning and household care products, and is used to create scent compositions. Terpineol can be extracted from numerous plant-based essential oils, such as turpentine, lavender, and clary sage, enabling the production of natural-grade material. Chemically, it belongs to the cyclic monoterpenes, and its structure was identified in 1885. This specific grade comes from an upcycling program featuring 100% renewable carbon, supporting sustainability.
