Seller's description
Triethyl Citrate (TEC)
Perfumery solvent and plasticizing carrier
Perfumery grade | Purity ≥99 %
Triethyl Citrate (TEC) is a high-purity ester of citric acid widely used in perfumery and in hand-made scented formulations as a structural solvent and plasticizing carrier. The material is characterized by a neutral odor profile, low volatility, and high compatibility with aromatic and functional ingredients, making it a versatile tool for formulators.
In perfume and scented compositions, TEC softens the overall structure of the formula, reduces the harshness of alcohol-based systems, improves the integration of components, and contributes to solution stability. It does not distort the olfactory profile, does not add heaviness, and helps preserve clarity and transparency of the composition.
Interaction with chemistry and alcohols
Triethyl Citrate:
is fully miscible with ethanol (96 %, 95 %, SDA)
is compatible with a wide range of fragrance materials and natural extracts
stabilizes fragrance concentrates and perfumery bases
improves homogeneity and clarity of formulations
reduces alcohol harshness and dryness
Fields of application
professional perfumery and fragrance compositions
perfumery and aromatic bases
alcohol-based fragrance formulations
hand-made products (creams, lotions, sprays, deodorants, personal care)
incorporating fragrance into hand-made care products
study and educational formulations
development of niche and artisanal fragrances and formulas

SHIPPING & DELIVERY TIMES
Orders are shipped from Germany. Order processing — from placement to handover to the postal service — takes 1–2 business days, excluding weekends, and never exceeds the processing time stated on Etsy.
All parcels are sent via the German postal carriers DHL or Deutsche Post with a tracking number provided. Once your order ships, you will receive the tracking number and can follow your parcel.
Please note that the delivery times shown on Etsy are estimates. They are calculated automatically and depend on the postal and customs services, so the actual delivery time may vary. What we are responsible for — and fully guarantee — is handing your order over for shipment within the stated processing time.
The speed of the postal carriers (DHL and others) and customs is beyond our control. If anything unusual happens with a parcel — a delay, a loss, or a customs query — we step in and help. As the sender, we contact the delivery service, open an inquiry where needed, file claims and provide the documents required from our side. We stay in touch with you until the matter is resolved.
Your involvement is needed as well. If the matter calls for contacting the local postal service or the customs authority in the destination country, please get in touch with them directly, find out the reason for the delay and take the steps needed to receive the parcel. We cannot call post offices and customs authorities in other countries on the recipient's behalf.
Tell us what they said and what information or documents are required from the sender, and we will prepare them on our side. Resolving cases like these takes both sides: we handle the enquiries as the sender, while you deal with the local services as the recipient.
CANCELLATIONS & RETURNS
If a parcel is returned to us because of an incorrect or incomplete address, the recipient's absence, or failure to collect it from the post office in time, we do not re-ship the same order. The cost of the item is refunded; a new shipment requires placing the order again.
If a buyer cancels an order that has already been shipped, the cost of the item is refunded once the item has been returned to us. Shipping costs are not refunded in this case.
For any return, the cost of the item is refunded. Shipping costs (both outbound and return postage), as well as any taxes and customs duties, are non-refundable.
If the sealed packaging has been opened, the item may not be eligible for return for reasons of hygiene (§ 312g (2) no. 3 of the German Civil Code, BGB). This applies to opened, used, or partially consumed materials. Your statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.
PAYMENTS & REFUNDS
All payments and refunds are processed through Etsy's payment system. The processing times for payments and refunds are determined by the platform. We initiate a refund on our side right away, but the time it takes to appear is governed by Etsy's rules.
ABOUT OUR MATERIALS
We offer perfumery raw materials in quantities made for creative work: to explore and evaluate a scent, to experiment, to learn, and to work on your own formulas and compositions. These are bench-scale sizes for hand work, not production volumes — something to compose with, rather than a product to use as it comes.
Our materials are filled and packed by hand. The packaging carries all the necessary information about the material and the CLP labelling required for it. Cap styles may vary and label placement may differ slightly from bottle to bottle — that is simply what hand filling and hand packing look like.
GOOD TO KNOW
This is a perfumery raw material, not a ready-to-use perfume or a finished cosmetic product. It is not intended for ingestion or for application to the skin in undiluted form.
Please use and store the materials in accordance with the stated CLP warnings. The seller is not liable for the consequences of improper storage, dosing, blending, or use of the product contrary to its intended purpose.
AGREEMENT
By placing an order, the buyer confirms that they have read and agree to these terms.
