α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde（Cat No.:R060206）is an aromatic aldehyde consisting of a cinnamaldehyde core substituted with a hexyl group at the alpha position. Known for its sweet, floral, and jasmine-like scent, it is widely used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, and household products. Its hydrophobic hexyl chain enhances substantivity on skin and fabrics, making it ideal for long-lasting formulations. In addition to its olfactory appeal, α-hexylcinnamaldehyde is also explored for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It is subject to allergen regulation in cosmetic formulations due to sensitization potential in sensitive individuals.
