About Citral

Citral is an aldehyde.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to add taste and scent to lip or oral products and to add fragrance to products or adjust the characteristic odor of ingredients.[3] It is described as a yellow liquid, so the order and temperature of mixing it with other liquid ingredients affect the uniformity of the finished product.[2]
