Vanillyl Butyl Ether (CAT: R043090) is a sensory agent and functional ingredient known for its warming sensation and mild vanillic aroma. Structurally derived from vanillin, VBE combines a vanillyl moiety with a butyl ether group, making it both lipophilic and stable. It activates TRPV1 receptors on sensory neurons, producing a localized warming effect without causing irritation, making it ideal for use in cosmetics, personal care formulations, and topical analgesics. VBE is commonly incorporated into slimming creams, muscle relaxants, and scalp treatments.
