Benzyl Salicylate
Benzyl Salicylate
A fragrance ingredient with a faint sweet, balsamic scent; it is one of the named allergens that must be declared on EU labels.
What it does
Benzyl salicylate is used as a fragrance component and fixative — it carries a soft floral-balsamic note and helps a scent last. It is one of the fragrance substances the EU requires to be listed by name on the label because a minority of people can react to it, which is why you sometimes see it spelled out at the end of an ingredient list rather than hidden inside 'parfum'. Its role is purely scent; it does nothing functional for the skin.
