Franz Dietrich Klingler, Wolfgang Ebertz "Oxocarboxylic Acids" The largest application of levulinic acid is its use in the making of DALA (delta aminolevulinic acid), a biodegradable herbicide used in South Asia.8 Another key application is the use of levulinic acid in cosmetics. Ethyl levulinate, a primary derivative of levulinic acid is extensively used in fragrances and perfumes. In addition, levulinic acid is also used in certified skin cancer treatment and the application is expected to have high growth over the forecast period on account of growing demand for cosmetic products.
