Description :
L-Isopulegol is a naturally occurring monoterpene alcohol with the molecular formula C10H18O and a molar mass of 154.25 g/mol. It is a colourless liquid characterised by a minty, herbal, and slightly citrus-like aroma, known for its cooling and refreshing qualities. L-Isopulegol serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of menthol and is widely used in fragrance, flavour, pharmaceutical, and aromatherapy applications for its versatile properties.
L-Isopulegol is extensively used as a direct precursor in the industrial production of menthol through hydrogenation. Its chemical structure allows efficient conversion into (-)-menthol, a vital compound in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and oral hygiene products. This makes L-Isopulegol an indispensable raw material in both cosmetic and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
L-Isopulegol adds a cool, minty freshness to perfumes, deodorants, body sprays, and other personal care products. Its aromatic profile blends seamlessly with other ingredients such as Dimetol, Bisabolol, Menthyl Acetate, and Celery Seed Oil, enhancing sensory qualities and creating multi-dimensional perfume compositions.
Due to its cooling and soothing nature, L-Isopulegol is included in topical formulations for pain relief, anti-inflammatory preparations, and skin care products. Its use alongside compounds like Tazobactam Sodium enables enhanced therapeutic effects in combination treatments.
L-Isopulegol serves as a valuable base material in pure chemical synthesis. Its cyclic structure and functional groups make it an important intermediate for creating a variety of speciality chemical derivatives and active pharmaceutical ingredients.
L-Isopulegol is used in essential oil blends for therapeutic effects, especially for its refreshing and invigorating aroma that may aid in stress relief and mental clarity.
