About Pentadecalactone

Pentadecalactone is the lactone of 15-hydroxypentadecanoic acid.[1] The properties and sensory feel of finished products containing Pentadecalactone may vary depending on the concentration used, the accompanying ingredients, the acidity of the formulation, and manufacturing conditions. In cosmetics, it is used to help prevent the characteristic odor or taste of raw materials from becoming too pronounced and to add fragrance to products or adjust the characteristic odor of raw materials.[2]
