The story of Iso E Super

Iso E Super was made on purpose, in a laboratory, by people looking for something else. In the early 1970s two chemists at International Flavors & Fragrances, John Hall and James Sanders, were working through the reactions of myrcene, a cheap terpene that comes out of turpentine and hops. One route led to a woody-ambery material they patented in 1973, and the patent that followed in 1975 is where the name first appears in print: a trade name, not a chemical one, for a mixture whose proper name runs to forty letters.

Every regulatory join - IFRA, GHS, allergens - is by CAS number, and a material can supply one through its constituents as well as its own row, so of the 569 materials carrying no CAS number the 244 without a constituent table are the ones that return "nothing known" rather than "nothing applies". The blotter hours are sourced rather than measured by us, and the app labels every one of them an estimate. There is no physical chemistry on a row: no molecular weight, no vapour pressure, no boiling point. The longer answer, or the whole catalog counted.
