Abstract
Composition comprising bornyl or isobornyl acetate and certain acids are effective for reducing malodors. The acids have the formula R—COOH in which R is C1-5 alkyl or R is C3 or C4 alkylene optionally phenyl-substituted. These compositions can be used in perfumed products, household products and personal care products.
Claims28
A malodor neutralizing composition comprising:
- (1) bornyl acetate or isobornyl acetate, and
- (2) a monocarboxylic acid of the formula
- in which R is C1-C5 alkyl or R is C3 or C4 alkylene optionally substituted by phenyl.
A method for reducing malodors which comprises contacting the source of said malodors with an effective amount of a malodor neutralizing composition comprising:
- (1) bornyl acetate or isobornyl acetate, and
- (2) a monocarboxylic acid of the formula
- in which R is C1-C5 alkyl or R is C3 or C4 alkylene optionally substituted by phenyl.
A method for reducing malodors emanating from household or personal care products which comprises admixing to said products a malodor neutralizing composition comprising (1) bornyl acetate or isobornyl acetate and (2) a monocarboxylic acid of the formula
- in which R is C1-C5 alkyl or R is C3 or C4 alkylene optionally substituted by phenyl.
