About this material

Vanillin Isobutyrate 10 has a creamy vanilla character akin to white chocolate and cream soda but with a soft apricot nuance.

Vanillin Iso-butyrate is less powdery and discolouring than Ethyl Vanillin and Vanillin but discolouration is problematic in white soap fragrances where usage levels exceed 2%.

This luxuriopus material provides a more creamy “thickening” effect than the other Vanillin’s.

Fragrance allergen reference

Generic regulatory reference only. This is not a supplier allergen declaration, measured composition, allergen-free claim or finished-product labelling assessment.

Raw undiluted material reference. These data refer to the named active material, not the complete supplied dilution. A raw-material IFRA ceiling is not a use level for this diluted product. The assessor must account for the actual concentration, carrier and all other formula contributions.

European Union / Northern Ireland

No direct listed-entry CAS match in this jurisdiction’s held reference set. This does not mean the material is allergen-free. Constituents, grouped entries and natural-material composition may require further review.

Finished-cosmetic declaration thresholds: greater than 0.001% leave-on; greater than 0.01% rinse-off. Apply the current target-market rules to the actual complete formulation; no concentration is inferred here.

Documentation Supply Policy

IFRA formulation guide

Generic reference only — not an IFRA certificate, compliance decision or use recommendation. The Responsible Person and qualified safety assessor must assess the actual finished formula using current applicable IFRA Standards, supplementary documentation where available and the CPSR.

Source: 51st Amendment overview, held source checked 2026-10-21. Bundle 2026-10-27. Individual Standards prevail over the overview.

No direct IFRA overview entry matched the recorded CAS in this held dataset. This does not mean unrestricted use, absence of relevant Standards or compliance. Constituent restrictions may still apply.

Creative ideas to explore

Creative directions, not tested formulas.

Sweetness and grain

With sandalwood and dry wood notes

Explore a gourmand sketch framed by wood rather than more sweetness. Compare a creamy wood direction with a drier one, deciding whether the material works best as the centre of the idea or as a softer background.

Citrus confection

With bergamot and a peel direction

Try a contrast between the gourmand character and a citrus opening. Compare a peel-led version with a sweeter reference, looking for a balance that evokes your intended confection without turning every part of the composition sweet.

Petal cream

With rose and a soft floral accord

Set the gourmand material beside a familiar flower for a petal-and-cream concept. Evaluate the floral reference and the sweeter variation together, then choose whether the result should remain recognisably floral or move towards a dessert impression.

Dilution Information

The suffix D forms part of the product name and indicates that the material is supplied as a dilution rather than at full strength.

POD = Precious Oil Dilution, typically intended for aromatherapy applications.

AOD = Absolute Oil Dilution, indicating that the product is supplied as a diluted absolute.

The dilution ratio and carrier/solvent are stated within the product specification and will also be shown on the product label.

IMPORTANT: Customers should always rely on the product specification when confirming the concentration and carrier/solvent supplied.

While we endeavour to ensure that product names and suffixes accurately reflect the material supplied, the product specification (including the stated dilution ratio and carrier/solvent) shall take precedence in the event of any omission, abbreviation, naming variation, or delayed update to a product title.

Please ensure you have selected the correct material, concentration, dilution ratio and carrier/solvent before completing your purchase.
