Benzophenone (crystals)

Benzophenone (Crystals) is a multifunctional ingredient used in perfumery primarily for its technical performance rather than its odour. Its scent profile is generally described as very faint, slightly sweet, and mildly balsamic, with a soft powdery nuance, but it is considered nearly odourless in practical applications.

The material typically appears as white crystalline solid, and is valued for its excellent stability and functional properties in fragrance formulations. It is especially known for its role as a UV absorber and stabilizer, helping to protect fragrance compositions from degradation caused by light exposure.

Benzophenone is particularly important in maintaining the integrity, color stability, and longevity of fragrance products, especially those exposed to light such as fine fragrances, cosmetics, and personal care formulations.

In practical perfumery, it is used as a stabilizing agent to help preserve the original scent profile and appearance of a formulation over time. It can also act as a very mild fixative, supporting the overall performance of the fragrance without contributing a noticeable odour.

Because of its neutral olfactory profile and strong technical benefits, Benzophenone is a valuable component in formulations where stability and product durability are essential.
