Alkyl Benzoate Properties

Alkyl Benzoate is the silkiest of all the personal care esters, making it a preferred ingredient among chemical manufacturers. As an emollient skin modifier, it also makes the oils in other skin care products feel less greasy. As such, Alkyl Benzoate often serves as an effective lubricant, anti-tackiness agent, binder and wetting agent for various mineral makeup products.

Although Alkyl Benzoate is odorless, it acts as a fragrant fixative, meaning it will cause the scent of perfumes and body sprays to linger longer. Alkyl Benzoate also exhibits high polarity, enabling it to solubilize silicones and oils.

MSDS Information for Alkyl Benzoate

The Alkyl Benzoate safety sheet indicates the product is safe for use as a beauty and skincare ingredient. However, it may cause irritation to the eyes. In the event of exposure, irrigate the eyes with a stream of water for approximately 15-20 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
