About
A salicylate fragrance ester related to benzyl salicylate, used in perfumes with IFRA restrictions due to skin sensitization potential.
Isopropylbenzyl salicylate is a salicylate ester combining isopropylbenzyl alcohol with salicylic acid. Like other salicylate esters (e.g., benzyl salicylate), it functions as a fragrance ingredient and UV absorber in cosmetic formulations. The compound has been subject to IFRA review due to skin sensitization concerns, and restrictions apply to its concentration in leave-on cosmetic products. It is not listed in EU Annexes as a banned substance but requires IFRA compliance for safe use.
Known concerns
- Skin sensitization potential (IFRA restriction applies)
- Environmental toxicity potential
