Attention!

Before purchasing, read all the information below and the general product information.
Not intended for use in food, vape liquids, or other internal use.
Intended for mixing with other fragrances: on its own, the scent can be dull or even unpleasant.
Not intended for use in cosmetics or personal care products.

Use

Solketal has a light but noticeable odour reminiscent of paint thinner and acetone. This odour is not a problem for practical use; it is easily overpowered by a sufficiently strong fragrance composition. The liquid evaporates fairly well and evenly. Many fragrances dissolve easily in it. It's therefore simple to use: mix it with the desired fragrances in the desired ratio, and you're done. A fragrance concentration of 30-50% is common.

This substance is intended for use in diffusers, not for perfume, cosmetics, or personal care products. Store in a cool, dry, dark place, and out of reach of children.

Properties

Solketal is a colourless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. Its purity is at least 99,5%, and the substance has a relatively long shelf life. It does not occur naturally; it is a synthetic substance. In our case, this is made from plant-based raw materials.

Another commonly used name is isopropylidene glycerol. A well-known brand name for Solketal is Augeo Clean Multi. We do not sell this Solvay product, but Glycasol from the Dutch company Alteqo.
