Rhodinol is composed of 3,7-dimethyloct-7-en-1-ol with a molecular formula of C10H20O. Its density ranges between 0.860 and 0.880 g/cm³, making it less dense than water. Rhodinol has a boiling point of approximately 132-135 °C at 4 mm Hg, which allows for easy incorporation in formulations without significant evaporation losses. It is insoluble in glycerol and water, but readily dissolves in most fixed oils and propylene glycol, making it ideal for use in oil-based products. Buyers should specify the desired packaging and batch details when ordering.
