Mid risk

FunctionFragrance Allergen

What it is — Benzyl Benzoate (INCI of the same name), an ester compound that occurs in some natural fragrances and is also made synthetically.

What it does — It is commonly used as a fragrance component and solvent, contributing to a product's scent and helping dissolve other fragrance materials.

Typical use — Found in perfumed skincare, body care and hair products where fragrance is part of the experience.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for those who enjoy scented products; fragrance-sensitive users may prefer to avoid it, and it must be declared on the label in the EU.

Safety — Rated mid risk because it is an EU-listed fragrance allergen that can cause reactions in some people. This is general information, not medical advice; patch-test if you are sensitive to fragrance.
