Castoreum is a yellowish substance from the castor sacs of mature beavers. Beavers use castoreum in combination with urine to mark their territory. Both beaver sexes have a pair of castor sacs and a pair of anal glands, located in two cavities under the skin between the pelvis and the base of the tail. The castor sacs are not true glands (endocrine or exocrine) on a cellular level, hence references to these structures as preputial glands, castor glands, or scent glands are not 100% accurate. It is used in a similar way to civet, ambergris, and deer musk. Other noted amimalic substances. What is Castoreum used for? Castoreum is largely used forits note suggesting leather, typically compounded with other ingredients including top, middle, and base notes in perfumery. It is generally used as atincture. At least 24 compounds are known constituents of beaver castoreum. Several of these have pheromonal activity. Inperfumery, the term castoreum refers to the resinoid extract resulting from dried and alcohol tinctured beaver castor. The dried beaver castor sacs are generally aged for two or more years to mellow. The tincture is aged at the discretion or convenience of the creator. Is this ethical? The castor sacs I source to make my castoreum are obtained from suppliers who do not harm beavers simply for castor sacs. At times beaver populations are culled to control population. In addition, in many parts of the world beavers are used for fur (to keep warm not fashion), meat, and other practical uses. The castor sacs are a byproduct of these actions, not a product in themselves.
