Lemon Terpenes
Naturals Top Note CAS 68917-33-9
A fresh juicy lemon top note that is light and zesty and carries the bright peel character of the whole oil with far less depth. It is the volatile hydrocarbon fraction recovered when lemon oil is concentrated, so it lifts quickly and leaves little sweet body behind.

IFRA regulated substances declared for this material. For naturals — which are mixtures of many molecules — the interactive index derives the effective maximum concentration per category from them. On single molecules these shares are purity traces from the supplier specification; they are far too small to limit use and are therefore not counted.
