Benzyl Salicylate (benzyl salicylate)

Benzyl Salicylate is an aromatic compound commonly used in cosmetics as a fragrance ingredient and a fixative. Naturally occurring in essential oils such as ylang-ylang and jasmine, it contributes a sweet, floral scent and helps enhance the longevity and complexity of fragrance compositions in skincare and perfume products. Additionally, it has UV-absorbing properties that can support formula stability. However, as it may cause sensitivity in individuals prone to fragrance allergies, regulatory guidelines require it to be listed separately on ingredient labels when present above certain thresholds.
