Musk is a mammal that belongs to the family Muskidae. They are mainly found in mountainous areas, forests and grasslands in Asia. Musks are relatively small, about 40 centimeters in length, and usually weigh only a few hundred grams.
Musk has very special physiological characteristics. Male musk has a musk sac on its abdomen, which can produce a unique fragrance, which is called "musk". Because musk has a long-lasting and strong aroma, it is widely used in the production of perfumes, medicines and high-end health care products.
Due to hunting and habitat loss, musk deer has become an endangered species and is protected by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Today, most musk products on the market are made from synthetic or alternative ingredients rather than real musk.
