Linalool - Natural grade is a terpene alcohol, which is a naturally occurring compound found in over 200 plant species, including lavender, mint, and cinnamon. This compound is extracted from essential oils of these plants through steam distillation or solvent extraction, ensuring the retention of its natural properties. Linalool functions by interacting with olfactory receptors and the central nervous system, making it an effective agent in influencing mood and emotion. Its mechanisms are believed to be linked to the modulation of neurotransmitter activity, offering a calming effect. This compound is widely used in perfumery and flavor industries due to its pleasant floral aroma. In addition to its role in cosmetics and personal care products, such as lotions and soaps, linalool is utilized in food flavorings to impart a fresh, floral note. It is also explored in aromatherapy for its potential stress-relieving properties. As a subject of scientific research, linalool’s effects on mood, anxiety, and inflammation remain areas of active investigation, underscoring its significance in both applied and theoretical domains.

Linalool, in essential oils, offers antinociceptive, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory effects, protects the liver, and boosts plant defense.
