Buy Eugenol Liquid CAS 97-53-4 — Pharmaceutical & Fragrance Grade

Buy Eugenol Liquid CAS 97-53-4 — Pharmaceutical & Fragrance Grade 
Eugenol is a naturally occurring phenylpropanoid 
aromatic compound and one of the most important 
and historically significant aroma chemicals in 
global commerce. Found in high concentrations in 
clove bud oil (72-90%), clove leaf oil, cinnamon 
leaf oil, basil, and nutmeg, Eugenol has been used 
in dentistry, perfumery, food flavouring, and 
pharmaceutical synthesis for centuries. Today it 
remains one of the most versatile and commercially 
important specialty chemicals in international trade, 
valued simultaneously across dental medicine, 
fine fragrance, food flavouring, cosmetic formulation, 
and pharmaceutical intermediate markets.

What makes Eugenol uniquely valuable is its 
combination of powerful sensory character — 
a warm, spicy, distinctive clove aroma — with 
significant pharmacological activity including 
local anaesthetic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, 
and antioxidant properties that have been 
extensively documented in peer-reviewed literature. 
This combination of olfactory and biological 
activity across multiple high-value market 
sectors makes Eugenol one of the most strategically 
important aroma chemicals in industrial chemical supply.

Primary Applications

1. Dental and Oral Care
Eugenol is the most important active ingredient in 
dental medicine, used extensively in dental cements, 
impression materials, temporary filling materials, 
root canal sealers, periodontal dressings, and dry 
socket treatment formulations. Its local anaesthetic 
properties provide effective pain relief in dental 
procedures, while its antimicrobial activity inhibits 
bacterial growth in dental applications. Zinc oxide 
eugenol (ZOE) cement — formed by mixing eugenol with 
zinc oxide powder — is one of the most widely used 
dental materials in the world and is found in dental 
clinics globally. This dental market represents one 
of the largest and most consistent demand drivers 
for pharmaceutical-grade Eugenol.

2. Fine Fragrance and Perfumery
Eugenol is a classic and irreplaceable material in 
fine fragrance, contributing its warm, spicy, clove 
character to oriental, floral-spicy, chypre, and 
woody fragrance compositions. It is a key component 
of carnation accords, spice accords, and oriental 
base materials, and blends beautifully with isoeugenol, 
cinnamic alcohol, geraniol, rose materials, musks, 
and woody base notes. Its powerful odour intensity 
means it is used at relatively low concentrations — 
typically 0.1-2.0% — where it contributes significant 
character to the overall composition. Eugenol also 
serves as a chemical precursor for isoeugenol, 
another important fragrance material.

3. Food and Beverage Flavouring
Eugenol is approved as a food flavouring agent 
under FEMA GRAS status (FEMA 2467) and is used 
in food and beverage products to contribute spicy, 
clove-like flavour notes. Applications include 
spice flavouring in confectionery, bakery products, 
beverages, meat products, sauces, and condiments. 
It is a key component of artificial clove, allspice, 
and mixed spice flavour compositions used in the 
food manufacturing industry.

4. Pharmaceutical Synthesis
Eugenol serves as an important starting material 
and chemical intermediate in pharmaceutical 
synthesis. Its phenylpropanoid structure and 
allyl-methoxyphenol functionality provide a 
versatile platform for chemical transformations 
leading to bioactive pharmaceutical compounds. 
Key synthesis applications include production 
of isoeugenol (via isomerisation), vanillin 
(via oxidation), and a range of pharmacologically 
active derivatives investigated for antifungal, 
antiviral, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory 
pharmaceutical applications.

5. Cosmetic Formulation
Eugenol is used as a fragrance ingredient in 
cosmetic and personal care formulations including 
skincare, haircare, body care, and specialty 
grooming products. Its warm spicy clove character 
adds distinctive depth and masculinity to 
fragrance compositions in aftershaves, beard 
care products, and oriental-inspired personal 
care formulations. Note: Eugenol is listed as 
a fragrance allergen under EU Cosmetics Regulation 
at concentrations above 0.01% in leave-on 
products and 0.1% in rinse-off products — 
labelling requirements apply in EU markets.

6. Antimicrobial and Preservative Applications
Eugenol's broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity 
— documented against bacteria, fungi, and yeasts 
including Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, 
Salmonella, Aspergillus, and Candida species — 
makes it a candidate for natural preservative 
and antimicrobial formulation applications. 
Research interest in Eugenol as a natural 
alternative to synthetic preservatives in 
food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations 
continues to grow, driven by clean label 
and natural product trends.

7. Agricultural and Pest Control
Eugenol has demonstrated insecticidal and 
repellent activity against a range of agricultural 
pest insects and is used as an active ingredient 
in natural insecticide and pest deterrent 
formulations. Its natural origin and 
biodegradability make it attractive in 
organic and reduced-chemical agriculture 
applications.
