Product Description

Fragrance Solvent & Carrier for Perfumery and Cosmetic Formulations

Benzyl Benzoate is a versatile aromatic ester widely used in perfumery, fragrance and cosmetic formulations as a solvent, diluent and carrier for compatible fragrance materials.

Its relatively low volatility makes it particularly useful for dissolving certain aromatic ingredients and supporting fragrance compositions. It can be incorporated into perfume concentrates, fragrance blends, cosmetic products and other suitable personal-care formulations according to formulation requirements.

Benzyl Benzoate is especially useful to perfumers and DIY fragrance makers working with materials that require an effective oil-soluble fragrance solvent.

Suitable for:
Perfume Making • Fragrance Blends • Perfume Oils • Attars • Cosmetic Formulations • Personal Care • DIY Perfumery

For fragrance, cosmetic and DIY formulation use.

FAQs

1. What is Benzyl Benzoate?
Benzyl Benzoate is an aromatic ester used in fragrance and cosmetic formulations primarily as a solvent, diluent and carrier.

2. What is Benzyl Benzoate used for in perfumery?
It can help dissolve compatible fragrance materials and is useful in fragrance compositions where a relatively low-volatility solvent is desired.

3. Is Benzyl Benzoate the same as DPG?
No. Both may be used as fragrance solvents/carriers, but Benzyl Benzoate and Dipropylene Glycol are chemically different ingredients with different solvency, viscosity and formulation behaviour.

4. Is Benzyl Benzoate the same as Perfume Solvent (Denatured Ethanol)?
No. Ethanol is highly volatile and commonly forms the main carrier of alcohol-based spray perfumes. Benzyl Benzoate is considerably less volatile and normally serves a different role within a fragrance composition.

5. Is Benzyl Benzoate water soluble?
It has very limited solubility in water and should generally be regarded as an oil-soluble fragrance ingredient for practical DIY formulation purposes.
