Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol

Phenyl ethyl alcohol (2-phenylethanol) is an aromatic alcohol that occurs naturally in rose, neroli and other floral essential oils and is the principal odour component of rose oil. Nustras supplies it as a colourless liquid with a mild rose-like odour, used as a flavour and fragrance ingredient and as a preservative component in cosmetics.

Phenyl ethyl alcohol is formulated into fragrances, fine perfumery and personal-care products, into soaps and detergents, into cosmetic preservative systems and, in food-grade quality, into flavour compositions for confectionery, beverages and baked goods.

The material is a colourless liquid with a characteristic rose odour. CAS number 60-12-8, molecular formula C8H10O, molecular weight 122.16. Identity and assay are confirmed by gas chromatography against the specification; refractive index, specific gravity, acid value, heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies phenyl ethyl alcohol in bulk commercial quantities, in sealed drums and intermediate bulk containers, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Phenyl ethyl alcohol is an accepted flavouring substance and cosmetic ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the grade, permitted use and level for their application.
