2-METHYL 5-CYCLOHEXYLPENTANOL

2-METHYL 5-CYCLOHEXYLPENTANOL is aliphatic alcohol with very specific activity against microorganisms responsible for body & foot odor, particularly effective against Gram-positive bacteria. It is highly compatible with other raw materials and offers most flexible use in various cosmetic formulation options: as stand-alone, in combination with anti-perspirants, in combination with fragrance or in combination with both.

It does not impact the human armpit microbiota, making it a microbiome-friendly ingredient and shows strong effectiveness even at very low dosages for an optimal cost in use. It alone provides 48hr odor protection and is used in deodorants and across the range of personal care.
