Aldehyde C-16 Lauric (Hexadecanal) 10% in DPG

Aldehyde C-16 Lauric (Hexadecanal) 10% in DPG is a classic fatty aldehyde prized for its waxy, fresh, and slightly citrusy character with rich green and fatty undertones. Unlike the fruity Strawberry Aldehyde (C-16 Ethyl Methylphenylglycidate), this true fatty aldehyde adds a natural, clean, and sophisticated waxy depth to fragrance compositions.

Pre-diluted in DPG (Dipropylene Glycol) for easy handling and precise dosing, this ingredient is ideal for enhancing aldehydic florals, clean soap-style fragrances, and modern compositions requiring a natural waxy lift.
