Caution

Benzyl Alcohol, also known as benzene methanol or phenylcarbinol, is an aromatic alcohol used in formulations for multiple purposes such as a fragrance component, preservative, solvent, stabiliser, and viscosity-decreasing agent.

It is derived from tea, fruit (such as peaches, apricots, and cranberries), and essential oils (such as jasmine, hyacinth, and ylang-ylang). It is a colourless liquid with a slightly sweet scent, and may be commonly spotted on the label of skincare, cosmetic, and personal products. Benzyl Alcohol reacts with triethyl phosphite and zinc iodide to form to ultimately create a solvent, which helps increase the efficacy of active ingredients in skin care products by enhancing their absorption through the skin.
