Benzyl Benzoate (benzyl benzoate)

Benzyl Benzoate is an aromatic compound found naturally in certain essential oils such as cinnamon and ylang-ylang, and is also produced synthetically for cosmetic use. In formulations, it functions primarily as a fragrance ingredient and solvent, helping dissolve and stabilize other scent components while enhancing the overall aromatic profile of the product. Although widely used, it can cause sensitivity in individuals prone to fragrance allergies, which is why it must be listed separately on ingredient labels when present above specified regulatory concentrations.
