Sclareolide is a sesquiterpene lactone natural product derived from various plant sources including Salvia sclarea, Salvia yosgadensis, and cigar tobacco. Sclareolide demonstrated good antibacterial activity against common human pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis. Sclareolide is not generally known for its bioactive properties. Instead, it is mostly used as a fixative or base in the perfume industry. It is also used in cosmetics, because it is thought to contribute to tanning of skin and/or darkening of hair.
