Hydroxycitronellal

Hydroxycitronellal, also known as Hydroxylapatite, calcium apatite or calcium hydroxyapatite, is an organic compound that is but the same name with several other mineralogical terms. It is an aromatic chemical compound that resembles a perfume with the taste of freshly cut grass or jasmine flowers. Hydroxycitronellal is often found in many perfumes and beauty products, where it is used for its fresh and floral scent. For example, we can find this substance in many shampoos, body lotions, creams, but also in soaps or deodorants.

However, it should be noted that Hydroxylapatite, calcium apatite and calcium hydroxyapatite are all names for hydroxyapatite, a mineral that is a major component of human and animal bones and teeth, and which has no smell. This mixture of valued words with different meanings could lead to confusion between hydroxycitronellal, an aromatic chemical component in perfumes, and calcium hydroxyapatite, a mineral in bones and teeth. Particularly in English, the term 'hydroxylapatite' may refer to both the chemical component of perfumes and the mineral in bones. Such a small translation error could cause considerable misunderstanding.
