CAS 1222-05-5: Galaxolide

Description: Galaxolide, with the CAS number 1222-05-5, is a synthetic musk compound widely used in the fragrance industry. It is characterized by its pleasant, musky odor, which resembles that of natural musk. Galaxolide is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is known for its stability and low volatility, making it suitable for use in various personal care products, detergents, and household items. The compound is lipophilic, allowing it to blend well with oils and fats, enhancing its effectiveness as a fragrance fixative. Galaxolide is generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetics, although its environmental impact has raised concerns due to its persistence in aquatic environments. It is classified as a polycyclic musk, which refers to a group of synthetic musks that can accumulate in the environment. Overall, Galaxolide's desirable scent profile and stability contribute to its popularity in fragrance formulations, while ongoing research continues to evaluate its ecological effects.
