Description

Phenethyl Salicylate is an organic ester compound formed from salicylic acid and phenethyl alcohol. This versatile ingredient is valued for its dual functionality, offering both the beneficial properties of salicylates and a pleasant, long-lasting floral aroma. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance, cosmetic, and personal care industries. Phenethyl Salicylate CAS NO 87-22-9 serves as a key component in formulations requiring a stable fragrance fixative and a functional skin-conditioning agent.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: Acts as a fixative and base note in perfumes, imparting a balsamic, rose-like, and honeyed scent profile.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Used in creams, lotions, and soaps for its skin-conditioning properties and as a fragrance ingredient.
• Flavor Enhancer: Employed in trace amounts to provide sweet, balsamic nuances in certain food flavorings and oral care products.
• Industrial Aromatics: Incorporated into air fresheners, detergents, and household cleaning products for its stable, persistent fragrance.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a chemical building block or starting material in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules.
