  • Applications

    Benzyl linoleate (CAS 47557-83-5) is an aromatic ester of linoleic acid used mainly in cosmetics and perfumery as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent, a low-volatility fragrance modifier/fixative, a carrier solvent for lipophilic actives (e.g., UV filters, perfumes, oils), a pigment dispersant and slip/feel enhancer in color cosmetics, and a shine/smoothness booster in hair care, and it is also incorporated into fine fragrances to add depth and longevity; beyond personal care it is used as a bio-based plasticizer/light lubricant and a flow–wetting additive in inks and coatings, as a carrier/co-solvent in agrochemical and topical pharmaceutical formulations, and as a model substrate in lipid autoxidation studies, with handling typically involving protection from light/oxygen and the optional use of antioxidants to limit oxidative degradation.
