Explore Top-Quality Benzyl Salicylate with Aure Chemical
Benzyl Salicylate (CAS 118-58-1) is one of the most widely used aromatic esters in the global fragrance industry. It presents as a colorless, slightly viscous liquid with a very mild, sweet, subtle floral, and slightly balsamic odor. Due to its high molecular weight and low volatility, Benzyl Salicylate functions primarily as an excellent fixative and solvent, prolonging the life and diffusion of fragrance compositions on the skin and in the product matrix. It is also valued for its ability to absorb UV light. Aure Chemical ensures a high-purity product with full Kosher and Halal certifications.

Application Overview
Benzyl Salicylate's unique combination of fixative capability, mild odor, and functional benefits makes it highly versatile in the cosmetics and fragrance industry:
Fine Fragrances (Fixative and Blender): It is primarily used as a high-performance, low-volatility fixative and diluent for complex fragrance bases. Its mild odor allows it to enhance the longevity of the entire composition without dominating the blend, especially in oriental, floral, and solar accords.
Cosmetics (UV Filter): Due to its salicylate structure, it serves as a mild UV light stabilizer/absorber in sunscreens, lotions, and color cosmetics, helping protect the product formulation (and sometimes the skin) from UV degradation.
Functional Fragrances: Its exceptional stability in various functional matrices (soaps, detergents) and its low odor threshold ensure it can be used in large quantities as a solvent or base note without altering the primary scent, guaranteeing tenacity.
Solvent for Solids: Its excellent solvency is used to dissolve solid musk and resinous materials (e.g., coumarin, vanillin) into a liquid format, simplifying the compounding process for perfumers.
Why Choose Aure Chemical for Benzyl Salicylate?
Aure Chemical offers Benzyl Salicylate (CAS 118-58-1) with specialized quality controls focused on its cosmetic function, purity, and global compliance.
Minimizing Free Salicylic Acid: Trace amounts of free salicylic acid can be sensitizing and problematic in cosmetics. We guarantee exceptionally low levels of residual salicylic acid, minimizing allergic risk and ensuring the highest safety profile required for skin contact applications.
Crystallization Management: Due to its melting point near ambient temperature, Benzyl Salicylate can solidify. We offer tailored liquid delivery options and climate-controlled storage to prevent solidification during shipping, ensuring the product is easily handled and incorporated into your process upon arrival.
Dual Kosher/Halal Compliance: We ensure fully compliant processing streams, providing meticulously audited and verified Kosher and Halal certifications. This comprehensive ethical compliance simplifies market access and procurement for global brands.
UV Spectroscopic Verification: For its application as a UV absorber, we provide batch-specific UV spectrum analysis alongside the Certificate of Analysis (CoA), confirming the material's peak absorption efficacy for customers using it in sun care or protective product formulations.
