Benzyl Alcohol

Benzyl Alcohol

I’m usually added to formulas as a preservative, but sometimes I’m just a naturally occurring chemical compound in certain essential oils & absolutes: in that case, I’m called out so you know I’m there, just in case you might be sensitive to me in particular.

Technical Term

Benzyl Alcohol

Ingredient Class

Supportive ingredient

I’m a supporter: I help make sure formulas feel and work just right.

How I work

I’m a preservative that makes sure Allkinds products last as long as they’re supposed to: I help to protect them from bacterial contamination. I'm also a naturally occurring part of essential oils and absolutes that help make sure Allkinds products smell awesome—if you’re particularly sensitive to me, you can avoid products that have me on their ingredients list. You can usually find me in oils with sweet, floral scents, like jasmine and hyacinth.
