Products Description of Benzyl salicylate CAS#118-58-1
Benzyl salicylate is a benzyl ester of salicylic acid, a chemical compound most commonly used in cosmetics. It appears as an almost colorless liquid with a subtle scent—described by those who can detect it as "very faint, sweet floral, slightly balsamic"—though many people either cannot smell it at all or perceive it as "musky." Trace impurities can significantly impact its odor.[1] It occurs naturally in various plants and plant extracts, and is widely used in fragrance blends.
