Fragrance allergens › Benzyl Salicylate

Benzyl Salicylate

Benzyl Salicylate (CAS 118-58-1) is one of the fragrance allergens the European Union requires to be named on a label once it passes a threshold. It is rarely something you added on purpose: 60 materials in this catalog carry it as a constituent, which is how a formula ends up over the line without a single line item admitting to it.

What Benzyl Salicylate smells like

Faint, sweet balsamic-floral salicylate that many people barely smell, yet it gives white florals their solar, skin-like amplitude. The great fixative-diffuser of tuberose, gardenia and ylang accords, usable at very high levels, allergen-listed and IFRA-flagged.

It is a material in its own right, not only a line on a label: its catalog page carries the full profile.

Estimates from typical published compositions, not a certificate of analysis for your bottle. A supplier's own figures always win.

PerfuMate totals these across a whole formula while you compose, counting the same molecule arriving from several materials at once, and writes the declaration for the back of the bottle. Start a formula, free. No account needed.
