Ethyl Maltol Powder
Ethyl Maltol Powder is a powerful aroma enhancer used in perfumery and cosmetic formulations to add sweet, caramelized, cotton-candy and burnt sugar notes. It enhances warmth, softness, and diffusion in fragrance blends while smoothing harsh edges, making it a must-have ingredient for modern gourmand and oriental compositions.
Supplied by Purenso in high-purity crystalline powder form, this ingredient delivers consistent performance for professional formulators and artisanal creators alike.
Why we use in formulation: Ethyl Maltol is used in formulations to enhance sweetness, smoothness, and overall fragrance harmony. It does not add a sharp scent of its own; instead, it rounds off harsh edges and improves the perceived quality of the blend.
