Citronellol
Other names: Rodinol
Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
Citronellol is a chemical that belongs to the terpene group. It is a clear, colourless liquid with a characteristic floral scent, reminiscent of roses with a slight hint of lemon. It is most commonly found in essential oils of lemongrass, rose, geranium, citronella or eucalyptus. It is less commonly known as Rodinol.
Citronellol is mainly used in the manufacture of various cosmetic and hygiene preparations. Its pleasant, floral scent makes it an ideal ingredient for body care products such as shower gels, baths, shampoos and other hair products. It is also often used in the production of perfumes and colognes, where it forms the base ingredient of many popular fragrances. Citronellol is also added to many disinfectants and cleaning products, both for household and industrial use. Due to its antiseptic properties, it contributes to the effective removal of bacteria and other microorganisms.
Outside the cosmetic industry, citronellol is also a component of some food products. This substance is commonly added to various beverages, sweets and confectionery where it serves as a natural flavouring. It also plays an important role in the tobacco industry, where it is used to enrich the flavour and aroma of tobacco products. Despite its wide use in various industries, citronellol is considered safe and health-friendly when used in reasonable quantities.
