Raspberry Ketone
Raspberry Ketone (CAS 5471-51-2) is the main aroma compound of red raspberries, characterized by a sweet, floral, berry, or jam-like raspberry scent. In cosmetics, the molecule is produced synthetically, as the naturally derived version is prohibitively expensive. Its listed CosIng functions are masking, perfuming, and skin conditioning.
