About Butyl Formate

Butyl Formate is an ester formed by combining portions derived from an acid and an alcohol.[1] Its molecular size and volatility, along with the combination of fragrances used with it, can affect the rate at which the scent spreads and its dry-down. In cosmetics, it is used to add fragrance to a product or adjust the characteristic odor of an ingredient.[1]
