Aldehyde C-18 COCONUT (so-called) Substitutes & Alternatives

creamy coconut waxy sweet lactonic fatty oily buttery

Synonym: Gamma Nonalactone Creamy coconut, fruity in dilution The common name of 'Aldehyde C-18' under which this product is sold is technically and chemically inaccurate, as this material is not an aldehyde. It simply carries a waxy coconut-like characteristic, which is commonly associated with aldehydes.

Same material — different names

These share the same CAS number (104-61-0) — the same core molecule sold under different trade names. They're close to interchangeable, but purity and isomer ratio can cause subtle differences in strength and character, so treat them as near-identical rather than exactly the same.
