B0% Raspberry Ketone in DPG is a pre-diluted form of the sweet, fruity aroma chemical Raspberry Ketone, known for its juicy, berry-like scent with creamy, slightly floral and gourmand nuances. Diluted in DPG (Dipropylene Glycol), this version is perfect for easy use in perfumes, body mists, fruity attars, and sweet personal care products where a mouthwatering red fruit accord is desired.

Raspberry Ketone blends effortlessly with Ethyl Maltol, Benzyl Acetate, and musks to create vibrant fruity-floral and gourmand compositions. It's often used to support berry accords and give a juicy, realistic sweetness to top and heart notes.

SCENT DESCRIPTION : Raspberry Ketone opens with a vivid, concentrated burst of fresh red raspberry — sweet, jammy, and instantly recognizable. Beneath the fruit lies a gentle floral warmth, reminiscent of rose petals dusted with powdery sweetness. The dry-down softens to a clean, slightly woody-phenolic base that prevents it from smelling overtly synthetic. Even at trace concentrations it is expressive, lending a natural berry brightness to any accord it enters.

IFRA 51st Amendment Status:

Raspberry Ketone (CAS 5471-51-2) is not listed as a restricted or prohibited substance in the IFRA 51st Amendment standards. It may be used in cosmetic and fragrance applications subject to standard QRA and good manufacturing practice, with no IFRA-specific category limits at this time.

⚠️ Always conduct a full QRA (Quantitative Risk Assessment) for leave-on applications.
⚠️ For lip-applicable products, confirm the batch is food-contact grade before use.
⚠️ Verify current IFRA status with supplier documentation prior to commercial product launch.

Method 1 — Precision Micro-dosing in Fine Fragrance
Prepare a 10% dilution of Raspberry Ketone in DPG or ethanol. Use this diluted solution rather than the raw material to allow accurate measurement and even dispersion. Add to your fragrance at 0.5–3% of your total accord weight, which equates to only 0.05–0.3% of Raspberry Ketone in the finished product. This prevents accidental overdosing, which can make a composition smell artificially sweet and one-dimensional.

Method 2 — Pre-Melt Integration for Wax Systems
Raspberry Ketone is a crystalline solid at room temperature. For candles and wax melts, gently warm the required quantity to 85–90°C until fully melted, then blend into your liquid fragrance oil before adding to wax. Do not add crystalline Raspberry Ketone directly to wax — it will not fully disperse. This ensures uniform scent throw and prevents speckling on the wax surface.

Method 3 — Rose-Raspberry Accord Construction
Combine Raspberry Ketone (0.1%), Rose Oxide (0.01%), Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol (10%), Geraniol (3%), Citronellol (4%), and a light musk such as Habanolide (5%) in a base of DPG. This builds a modern rose-raspberry accord that reads as fresh and feminine. Raspberry Ketone bridges the green facets of rose oxide and the soft sweetness of PEA beautifully.

BEST PAIRINGS:

Rose Oxide → Sharpens raspberry into a dewy, green-fruity rose
Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol → Classic rose-raspberry pairing; adds depth and naturalness
Citronellol → Lifts the floral facet, makes raspberry feel sun-ripened
Ethyl Maltol → Pushes into gourmand territory; candied berry effect
Linalool → Softens the fruit, adds a lavender-berry nuance
Hedione → Adds floral diffusiveness; allows Raspberry Ketone to bloom
Habanolide / Galaxolide → Anchors the accord with clean skin warmth
Iso E Super → Adds woody depth; interesting raspberry-woody masculine twist
Citrus Terpenes → Creates a sparkling berry-citrus top note effect
Vanilla / Ethyl Vanillin → Deepens into a sweet berry-vanilla gourmand

AVOID: Combining at high doses with other powerful fruity ketones such as Peach Aldehyde or Damascenones — the result can become aggressively synthetic and one-dimensional. Avoid direct contact with strong acids or bases in formulation without prior stability testing.
