Overview
Bornyl acetate (CAS 76-49-3 ) is a naturally occurring ester used as a fragrance and flavoring ingredient across food, cosmetic, and personal care applications. Known in the flavor industry under FEMA 2159 , it delivers a fresh, pine-like, camphoraceous character that defines its commercial value.
L-bornyl acetate and (-)-borneol acetate are recognized forms traded for their specific optical activity in fine fragrance and flavor work. In flavor formulations, it contributes conifer, herbal, and forest-type profiles to confectionery, beverages, and savory products.
Fragrance compounders use it to build top and middle notes in fine perfumes, functional fragrances, and air care products where a natural, woody-green character is required. In personal care, it appears in shampoos, shower gels, and skincare formulations targeting fresh or botanical scent profiles.
It also functions as a supporting ingredient in aromatherapy-positioned products and spa-grade cosmetics. Bornyl acetate is supplied as a colorless to pale yellow liquid. It is available in natural and synthetic grades, with natural-origin material commanding preference.
This material is often utilized in clean-label food and premium fragrance applications. Standard supply conforms to FCC specifications for food-grade use, with fragrance-grade material assessed against purity benchmarks typical for flavor and fragrance raw materials.
