It helps modulate the release of volatile components, enhancing the longevity and consistency of scented products. Its cyclic acetal structure makes it valuable in masking undesirable odors during product development. Additionally, it serves as a solvent or carrier in some cosmetic formulations due to its mild odor and good solvency properties.
