Description :
Benzyl Salicylate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid or oily substance known for its mild floral aroma and excellent solubility in oils. It is an aromatic ester formed from benzyl alcohol and salicylic acid.
This compound is widely used in the fragrance and cosmetic industry due to its ability to fix and enhance floral notes, particularly in jasmine and lilac blends. It also functions as a light absorber, making it valuable in sunscreens and personal care formulations.
Used extensively in perfume compositions to provide a sweet, floral scent and to help stabilize other volatile fragrance components.
Included in lotions, creams, shampoos, and deodorants for its scent and mild UV-absorbing properties.
Acts as a UV filter, helping protect products and skin from light-induced degradation.
Used as a fragrance additive in soaps and household cleaners due to its stability and skin-safe nature.
Although generally safe, Benzyl Salicylate may cause allergic reactions or skin sensitivity in some individuals—especially in high concentrations.
Handle with standard Personal Protective Equipment: gloves, goggles, and in well-ventilated areas.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials.
Avoid release into the environment; follow local regulations for waste disposal.
