    Product Description

    (+)-β-Citronellol is a monoterpene that has been found in Cannabis.1 It inhibits degranulation of cultured mast cells by 21.3% when used at a concentration of 0.5 mM.2 Unlike (R)-citronellal, it does not reduce the perceived bitterness of caffeine when used at a concentration of 5.9 nM.3 Formulations containing (+)-β-citronellol have been used as fragrance ingredients in various cosmetics, toiletries, and cleaning products.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
