BENZYL BENZOATE
BENZYL BENZOATE
Benzyl benzoate is a naturally occurring molecule found in some plants and is made up of benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid. In cosmetic products, it plays a number of roles depending on the product and it can act as a fragrance, a solvent, a plasticiser, a preservative and a fixative.
As a fragrance, benzyl benzoate can add a balsamic smell to a product.
Benzyl benzoate can also work with other fragrances as a solvent to help them dissolve into the mixture.
Benzyl benzoate also acts as a fixative in perfumed products where it slows down the escape of other fragrances and increases the life span of the fragrance.
When added to more solid products like soaps, benzyl benzoate can act as a plasticiser. A plasticiser makes a product less brittle so a soap containing it can be bent and squished more before it snaps or crumbles.
Benzyl benzoate, is the ester of benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid, with the formula C6G5CH2O2CC6H5.
Benzyl benzoate is a colorless liquid, that is formally the condensation product of benzoic acid and benzyl alcohol.
However it is a solid at temperatures below 17 ºC so insulated storage would be required.
The non-toxic compound is primarily used as a plasticizer in the manufacture of polymeric materials for commercial applications such as PVC and other plastics.
However, benzyl benzoate is also used as a fixative in fragrances, a food additive in artificial flavors, as a solvent, and for a variety of medical applications for the health care industry and veterinarians.
Benzyl Benzoate is mainly used as a non-agricultural pesticide with some veterinary applications as well as being used as a food additive and in perfumery.
Benzyl benzoate is a kind of ester compound by condensation of benzoate and benzyl alcohol, there are a lot of important applications.
It can mainly be used in textile auxiliaries, flavors and Fragrance, pharmaceuticals and plasticizer.
Benzyl Benzoate is an important chemical, it is widely used in pharmaceuticals, textile auxiliaries, flavors and fragrances, and plasticizer.
Used in Textile auxiliary, flavor spice, pharmacy, and plasticizer. In textile auxiliaries, Benzyl Benzoate is used as lead agent, leveler and repair agent.
With constant development of textile industry in worldwide, especially in dyeing, the difficulty of coloring and uniformity, becomes the main problem, while Benzyl Benzoate has a good plasticizer performance, it can treat and draw away the fiber to facilitate dye, because Benzyl Benzoate is a good solvent itself to dissolve easily and disperse dye evenly.
Relative products of same property to Benzyl Benzoate, are Methylnaphthalene, Dimethylnaphthalene, Methyl Salicylate, etc.
Among of them, Benzyl Benzoate is more precise, thanks to its better overall-performance.
Benzyl benzoate is a synthetic chemical used as a fragrance ingredient, artificial flavor, preservative, and solvent.
Benzyl Benzoate is also considered an over the counter drug and can be used as a scabies or lice treatment.

INCI: Benzyl benzoate
CAS No.: 120-51-4
EINECS No.: 204-402-9
Benzyl benzoate is a benzoate ester obtained by the formal condensation of benzoic acid with benzyl alcohol. It has been isolated from the plant species of the genus Polyalthia. It has a role as a scabicide, an acaricide and a plant metabolite.
It is a benzyl ester and a benzoate ester. It derives from a benzoic acid.
Benzyl benzoate is an organic compound which is used as a medication and insect repellent. As a medication it is used to treat scabies and lice.
For scabies either permethrin or malathion is typically preferred. It is applied to the skin as a lotion. Typically two to three applications are needed.
It is also present in Balsam of Peru, Tolu balsam, and in a number of flowers.
Side effects may include irritation of the skin. It is not recommended in children. It is also used in other animals; however, it is considered toxic to cats. How it works is unclear.
Benzyl benzoate was first studied medically in 1918. It is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines. Benzyl benzoate is sold under the brand name Scabanca among others and is available as a generic medication.
It is not available for medical use in the United States.
Other names: benzoic acid phenylmethyl ester, benzy alcohol benzoic ester;CAS Number:120-51-4
Medical
Benzyl benzoate is an effective and inexpensive topical treatment for human scabies. It has vasodilating and spasmolytic effects and is present in many asthma and whooping cough drugs.
It is also used as an excipient in some testosterone-replacement medications (like Nebido) for treating hypogonadism.
Benzyl benzoate is used as a topical acaricide, scabicide, and pediculicide in veterinary hospitals.
Non-medical
Benzyl benzoate is used as a repellent for chiggers, ticks, and mosquitoes. It is also used as a dye carrier, solvent for cellulose derivatives, plasticizer, and fixative in the perfume industry.
Side effects
Benzyl benzoate has low acute toxicity in laboratory animals. It is rapidly hydrolyzed to benzoic acid and benzyl alcohol. Benzyl alcohol is subsequently metabolized to benzoic acid.
The conjugates of benzoic acid (hippuric acid and the glucuronide of benzoic acid) are rapidly eliminated in urine.
When given in large doses to laboratory animals, benzyl benzoate can cause hyperexcitation, loss of coordination, ataxia, convulsions, and respiratory paralysis.
Benzyl benzoate can be a skin irritant when used as a topical scabicide. Overdose can result in blistering and hives or a rash can occur as an allergic reaction.
As an excipient in some testosterone-replacement injectable medications, benzyl benzoate has been reported as a cause of anaphylaxis in a case in Australia.
Bayer includes this report in information for health professionals and recommends that physicians “should be aware of the potential for serious allergic reactions” to preparations of this type.
In Australia, reports to ADRAC, which evaluates reports of adverse drug reactions for the Therapeutic Goods Administration, show several reports of allergic issues since the anaphylaxis case from 2011.
Chemistry
It is an organic compound with the formula C6H5CH2O2CC6H5. It is the ester of benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid. It forms either a viscous liquid or solid flakes and has a weak, sweet-balsamic odor.
It occurs in a number of blossoms (e. g. tuberose, hyacinth) and is a component of Balsam of Peru and Tolu balsam.
Production
Benzyl benzoate is produced industrially by the reaction of sodium benzoate with benzyl alcohol in the presence of a base, or by transesterification of methyl benzoate and benzyl alcohol.
It is a byproduct of benzoic acid synthesis by toluene oxidation. It can also be synthesized by the Tishchenko reaction, using benzaldehyde with sodium benzylate (generated from sodium and benzyl alcohol) as catalyst.
