Benzyl Alcohol is a versatile, aromatic alcohol widely used as a preservative, solvent, and fragrance ingredient in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial formulations. Naturally found in many essential oils and fruits, it offers antimicrobial properties that help stabilise products and extend shelf life—especially when paired with other preservatives. It's commonly used in lotions, creams, serums, and rinse-off products due to its effectiveness and skin compatibility at low concentrations.

In addition to its preservative function, Benzyl Alcohol acts as a solvent for active ingredients and can be used as a fragrance fixative or viscosity reducer. It complies with global regulatory standards and is accepted in natural and organic formulations. Whether you're formulating clean beauty products or professional-grade cosmetics, Benzyl Alcohol is a reliable multifunctional ingredient with broad application potential.
