  • Applications

    Dodecyl 2-hydroxybenzoate (CAS 1160-35-6) is the ester of salicylic acid and dodecyl alcohol, widely used across multiple industries. In perfumery and fragrance, it serves as a fragrance ingredient and a fixative to help stabilize and prolong aroma. In cosmetics and personal care it acts as an emollient and solvent for actives and fragrance, aiding formulation in creams, lotions, and lip products. In household and cleaning products it serves as a fragrance carrier and solvent, helping to dissolve and deliver fragrance notes. In the polymer and plastics sector it may function as a plasticizer or processing aid in certain polymer systems. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
