About Benzyl Salicylate

Benzyl Salicylate is an ester of benzyl alcohol and salicylic acid.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to add fragrance or adjust the characteristic odor of raw materials, and to reduce changes to the product and formulation ingredients caused by ultraviolet light.[3] It is described as a colorless liquid; when added to the oil phase, the mixing order and temperature with other oil-soluble raw materials can affect the uniformity of the finished product.[2]
