Description

Benzyl Salicylate is a flying aromatic chemical with a sweet floral scent that is used to add fragrance to cosmetic products and perfumes. It is found in cloves and can be extracted from essential oils and perfumes, fragrances. Benzyl Salicylate is often used as a fragrance enhancer or fixative. It has no direct beneficial effect on the skin. It is used as an ultraviolet absorber. Ultraviolet absorbers scatter, reflect or absorb ultraviolet radiation, thus preventing the deterioration of product quality. In hair care products, they also protect hair from ultraviolet radiation. Benzyl Salicylate dissolves fatty acids in cosmetic products that help to soften the skin.
