Uses
Perfumery:
Castoreum has been traditionally used in perfumery as a fixative and fragrance enhancer. Its musky scent adds depth and complexity to perfumes and colognes, often imparting a warm, animalic note to fragrances.
Flavoring Agent:
Castoreum has been used as a natural flavoring agent in certain food and beverage products. It has a vanilla-like flavor and aroma and has been used to enhance the taste of items such as baked goods, beverages, and ice creams. However, its use in the food industry has declined over time, and synthetic alternatives are often preferred due to concerns about the availability of natural castoreum and animal welfare.
Traditional Medicine:
In some traditional medicine systems, castoreum has been used for its purported medicinal properties. It has been suggested to have analgesic (pain-relieving), anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic (fever-reducing) effects.
Insect Repellent:
Castoreum has been traditionally used as an insect repellent. It is sometimes mixed with water and sprinkled around the house or applied to the skin to deter pests such as mosquitoes. However, its efficacy as an insect repellent may vary, and modern insect repellents are more commonly used for this purpose.
Traditional Uses:
Historically, castoreum has been used in various cultural and traditional contexts for purposes such as leather tanning, as a scent marker in hunting traps, and in rituals or ceremonies. However, its use in these applications has declined over time.
