Other names: linalool, linalyl alcohol
Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
Linalool, also known as linalyl alcohol, is a natural substance that is abundantly present in many flowers and herbs. It comes from the terpenoid group and is involved in the production of vitamin E. This chemical is the main ingredient in some essential oils such as lavender, basil or coriander and is characterised by its characteristic scent, which we perceive as sweet and floral.
Linalool has many uses in various products. Industrially, it is used in large quantities for various applications. One of the most well-known is its use in perfumes and cosmetics because of its pleasant scent. It is also a component of many cleaning and washing products or scented candles. In the pharmaceutical industry it is used as an ingredient in lip balm, skin creams or soaps. But linalool is also used as a calming and relaxing agent in aromatherapy. In the food industry, it has its place as a flavouring ingredient in drinks or fruit candies, for example. However, it is important to point out that despite all these benefits, linalool can be an allergen in some cases. It is therefore important to monitor the body's reactions and to seek medical advice from a doctor or pharmacist at the first sign of an allergy.
