Application
Benzyl salicylate (CAS 118-58-1) is a widely used aromatic ester valued for its sweet, balsamic, and floral odor with subtle clover and gardenia undertones. In the flavor and fragrance industry, it serves as an excellent fixative and blending agent in fine perfumery, colognes, soaps, shampoos, laundry detergents, and cosmetics, enhancing longevity and rounding out floral compositions such as jasmine, lilac, and ylang-ylang. It also functions as a UV light absorber and solvent for crystalline sunscreens, providing secondary photoprotection in cosmetic formulations. In personal care products, it acts as a mild emollient and fragrance carrier. Additionally, benzyl salicylate is used as a flavoring agent at low concentrations to impart fruity, tea-like notes to confectionery and beverages. Its high purity and regulatory compliance (IFRA, REACH, FDA) make it a trusted ingredient in fine fragrances and household products.
