Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chromanol ring?

A chromanol is a chroman-ol — a benzopyran (chroman) bicyclic core bearing a hydroxyl group, the same ring system found in tocopherols. Dimethylmethoxy chromanol (CAS 83923-51-7, C12H16O3) is a synthetic dimethyl, methoxy-substituted chroman-6-ol.

What is dimethylmethoxy chromanol used for?

It is a synthetic chromanol used in cosmetic and personal-care formulations as an antioxidant ingredient, where it protects oxidation-sensitive components and helps stabilize formulations against oxidative degradation.

What is the CAS number and formula of dimethylmethoxy chromanol?

CAS 83923-51-7, molecular formula C12H16O3. It is a dihydrobenzopyranol (chroman-6-ol derivative). Each bulk shipment is supplied with a CoA confirming identity and a current SDS.

Is dimethylmethoxy chromanol the same as Lipochroman?

Lipochroman is a trade name under which this chromanol ingredient is marketed. The defining identifier is the CAS number, 83923-51-7. Confirm CAS on the CoA when cross-referencing trade names to ensure equivalent material.

How is dimethylmethoxy chromanol supplied in bulk?

It is a specialty additive supplied to formulators in volume. Packaging, available pack sizes, and lead time are quote-dependent; submit a bulk RFQ with your target quantity to receive pricing, CoA, and SDS.
