Beschreibung

Citronellic acid is a monounsaturated carboxylic acid that has an absorption enhancer effect. It is also known to have skin-conditioning properties. Citronellic acid is found naturally in plants, such as citronella, lemongrass, and geranium. It can be synthesized by the hydrolysis of malonic acid with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The chemical reactions of citronellic acid are similar to those of other polycarboxylic acids, such as acetic acid. Citronellic acid is not acutely toxic and does not cause skin irritation or sensitization.
