Benzyl Alcohol

Benzyl Alcohol

Benzyl Alcohol is a multifunctional specialty chemical widely used as a solvent, preservative, and fragrance carrier in personal care, pharmaceutical, coatings, and cleaning formulations.
It combines excellent solvency power, low volatility, and broad antimicrobial properties, making it one of the most versatile and widely accepted ingredients for modern formulations.

It’s also readily biodegradable, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for manufacturers shifting toward greener chemistry.

Problem Solved: Many formulations struggle with poor solubility, inconsistent preservation, or unpleasant solvent odor. Traditional solvents (toluene, glycol ethers) may raise regulatory or safety concerns, especially for personal care or pharmaceutical products.


Product Solution: Benzyl Alcohol offers a balanced combination of solvent and antimicrobial performance. It enhances solubility, stability, and shelf life in both aqueous and emulsion systems. Its low toxicity and pleasant odor make it ideal for consumer-facing products and pharmaceutical-grade formulations.


Examples of Industries:

Personal care OEMs developing preservative-free or mild formulations

Household cleaner manufacturers seeking fragrance-stable solvents

Pharma formulators requiring USP/Ph. Eur. compliant solvent systems

Coatings and inks needing high solvency with low volatility

Green formulation developers looking for biodegradable solvent alternatives
