What does Methyl Linoleate smell like?

Faint oily-fatty note like fresh vegetable oil, with a waxy texture and a soft woody undertone. Weak and barely volatile, it works as a texturiser and co-fixative rather than for its own smell, echoing the fatty esters of champaca and jasmine absolutes. A linoleic acid methyl ester that oxidises readily, so it is kept cool.

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.
