    Benzyl Salicylate CAS 118-58-1

    Benzyl Salicylate CAS 118-58-1 is a clear, oily ester commonly utilized as a high-performance Cosmetic Raw Materials ingredient for its dual role as a fragrance fixative and UV stabilizer. Within industrial aromatic processing, this benzyl 2-hydroxybenzoate functions as an essential solvent for synthetic musks and a subtle balsamic modifier in floral-themed formulations. This salicylic acid benzyl ester ensures the long-term stability of volatile scent components in large-scale batches, while benzyl ortho-hydroxybenzoate is typically incorporated into skin-care emulsions to protect sensitive ingredients from light-induced degradation. The chemical properties of phenylmethyl 2-hydroxybenzoate allow it to act as a bridge between oil and water phases in complex perfumery systems, providing a consistent sensory profile. We provide bulk supply with competitive factory pricing for international distributors, ensuring every shipment is backed by MSDS, TDS, COA and offering customized specifications to meet specific industry olfactory and purity benchmarks.

    Applications

    • Fine Fragrances: Used as a base note and fixative in floral perfumes (specifically jasmine, lilac, and lily types) to slow down the evaporation of more volatile components.
    • Skincare and Cosmetics: Incorporated into sunscreens, lotions, and creams as a mild UV stabilizer and scent enhancer.
    • Industrial Soap and Detergents: Applied as a fragrance stabilizer in laundry and cleaning formulations due to its excellent stability in alkaline environments.
    • Hair Care Products: Utilized in shampoos and conditioners to provide a lasting clean scent and improve the solubility of other active ingredients.

    Storage & Safety

    • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames. Use stainless steel, aluminum, or phenolic-lined containers to maintain product purity.
    • Safety Operations (PPE): Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile), safety glasses with side shields, and protective lab clothing. In areas with high vapor concentration, ensure adequate mechanical ventilation.
    • Handling: Benzyl Salicylate is recognized as a potential skin sensitizer; avoid direct skin contact and prolonged inhalation of vapors. Maintain standard industrial hygiene protocols.

    Quality Assurance

    Our production facility utilizes vacuum distillation and high-precision esterification processes to ensure that Benzyl Salicylate reaches a minimum purity of 99.0%. Every batch is analyzed via Gas Chromatography (GC) for impurity profiling and Refractometry to ensure physical consistency. We strictly adhere to IFRA (International Fragrance Association) standards for cosmetic-grade raw materials, providing comprehensive technical documentation to facilitate the inclusion of our product in regulated international beauty and fragrance markets.

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      How does the CAS 118-58-1 identification ensure compliance with international fragrance labeling laws?

      A: CAS 118-58-1 is the globally standardized identifier for Benzyl Salicylate. Using this CAS ensures that industrial formulators can precisely adhere to concentration limits set by IFRA and the EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, which requires this specific substance to be disclosed on product labels if it exceeds set thresholds.
    • Q:

      Is this product suitable for use in high-pH industrial soap formulations?

      A: Yes, Benzyl Salicylate demonstrates excellent chemical stability in alkaline environments. It is commonly used in industrial soap and detergent manufacturing because it does not readily undergo hydrolysis at pH levels where other aromatic esters might break down, ensuring the fragrance profile remains consistent over the product's shelf life.
