Buy Linalool Liquid CAS 78-70-6 — Natural & Synthetic Fragrance Grade
Linalool is one of the most important and widely used 
terpene alcohols in the global fragrance, flavour, 
cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Present 
naturally in over 200 species of flowering plants, 
herbs, and spices — including lavender, coriander, 
basil, bergamot, rosewood, and sweet orange — 
Linalool has been used in perfumery and flavouring 
for over a century and remains one of the highest-volume 
aroma chemicals produced globally.

Beyond its fragrance applications, Linalool has 
attracted significant and growing scientific interest 
for its biological activity. Peer-reviewed research 
has documented antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, 
anxiolytic, analgesic, and sedative properties, 
driving increasing interest in pharmaceutical and 
nutraceutical applications.

Natural vs Synthetic Linalool

Linalool is available in two commercial forms:

Natural Linalool — extracted from essential oils of 
rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora), ho wood (Cinnamomum 
camphora), coriander, or lavender. Natural-grade 
Linalool carries natural origin certification and 
commands a significant price premium. It is used 
in natural and certified organic fragrance and 
cosmetic formulations.

Synthetic Linalool — produced via chemical synthesis 
from beta-pinene or geraniol. Synthetic Linalool is 
chemically identical to natural Linalool at high purity 
and delivers the same olfactory performance at 
substantially lower cost and with consistent supply 
volumes. It is the dominant commercial form used 
in the global fragrance industry.

UAB An Group Export supplies synthetic Linalool at 
>=97.0% purity — chemically identical to natural 
grade with consistent quality and reliable supply.

Primary Applications

1. Fine Fragrance and Perfumery
Linalool is a foundational ingredient in modern 
perfumery, used across virtually all fragrance 
families including floral, fresh, fougere, 
chypre, oriental, and woody compositions. Its 
fresh lavender-like character and excellent 
blending versatility make it a universal 
modifier that adds lift, freshness, and 
naturalness to fragrance compositions. It is 
both a primary fragrance note in its own right 
and a key supporting material that enhances 
the performance of other fragrance ingredients.

2. Functional Fragrance
The largest volume application for Linalool 
globally is functional fragrance — fragrancing 
of household and personal care products including 
fabric conditioners, laundry detergents, 
dishwashing liquids, surface cleaners, 
air fresheners, toilet blocks, and candles. 
Its fresh, clean, universally appealing 
lavender-citrus character is ideally suited 
to the fabric care and home care fragrance 
profiles that dominate global functional 
fragrance consumption.

3. Cosmetic and Personal Care Formulation
Linalool is one of the most widely used 
fragrance ingredients in cosmetic and personal 
care products worldwide. Applications include 
shampoos, conditioners, body washes, shower 
gels, lotions, creams, face washes, deodorants, 
and lip products. Its skin-compatible profile 
and pleasant aroma make it a preferred 
fragrance material across all personal care 
product categories. Note: Linalool 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.

4. Food and Beverage Flavouring
Linalool is approved as a food flavouring agent 
under FEMA GRAS status (FEMA 2635) and is used 
in food and beverage products to contribute 
floral, citrus, and lavender flavour notes. 
Applications include beverages, confectionery, 
baked goods, dairy products, and savoury 
flavouring systems where a natural, fresh 
floral character is desired.

5. Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Research
Peer-reviewed scientific literature has 
documented the following biological activities 
of Linalool that are driving pharmaceutical 
and nutraceutical research interest:

Antimicrobial activity — demonstrated 
efficacy against a range of bacterial and 
fungal pathogens including Staphylococcus 
aureus, E. coli, and Candida species.

Anxiolytic and sedative effects — 
inhalation of Linalool vapour has shown 
anxiolytic and sedative effects in animal 
models, supporting research into aromatherapy 
applications and natural anxiety management.

Anti-inflammatory activity — Linalool has 
demonstrated inhibition of inflammatory 
cytokine production in cell culture and 
animal models.

Analgesic properties — studies have 
demonstrated pain-modulating effects 
relevant to topical analgesic formulation 
research.

6. Aroma Chemical Synthesis
Linalool is an important chemical intermediate 
in the synthesis of other high-value aroma 
chemicals including linalyl acetate (the 
primary component of lavender oil), geraniol, 
nerol, citral, and vitamin E precursors. Its 
terpene alcohol structure provides a 
versatile starting point for a range of 
terpene chemistry transformations.
