It provides a lemony scent, and is valued for its ability to mask unpleasant odors. Rising consumer preference for natural ingredients and rising popularity of essential oil products c can boost demand for citral from personal care and home care industries. Citral is used in formulation of many types of cosmetic and personal care products including aftershave lotions, bath products, moisturizers, perfumes & colognes, and skin care products. Growing cosmetics & personal care industry is expected to boost growth of the citral market.
