Information

Benzyl benzoate is an organic compound used in many applications, including as a preservative and antimicrobial agent, as a fragrance ingredient, and as a solvent.

Where does it come from?

Benzyl benzoate can be found naturally in the essential oils of some plants, including: cinnamon, balsam of peru, plumeria, and ylang ylang.

What are the benefits?

NATURAL ANTIMICROBIAL ENHANCING

What are the benefits?

  • Antimicrobial: Benzyl benzoate has antimicrobial properties, protecting the skin and increasing the shelf life of products by preventing microbial growth.
  • Fragrance: Benzyl benzoate naturally has a faint, sweet, balsamic smell and improves the stability and odor of other ingredients. In perfumes, it's used as an aroma fixator to prevent the scent from evaporating too quickly.
  • Solvent: It acts as a solvent in essential oils, enhancing the odor of skincare products and aiding in the dissolution and dispersion of various components.

How is it used in our products?

Benzyl alcohol is used, for example, in B20 Soothing Foot Balm from OLIVEDA.  Its inclusion provides antibacterial benefits that naturally prevent the skin from microbial growth, as well as ensure the longevity of products. The sensory qualities provide natural fragrance benefits.
