Benzyl Alcohol is often found in formulations alongside materials like Benzyl Acetate, Benzyl Salicylate, Lindenol (terpineol), Hydroxycitronellal, Lilial and Lyral and Methyl Anthranilate.
Benzyl Alcohol's primarily used in product formulation as a preservative to stop microorganisms from overgrowing in products, which could later lead to an infection.

Key applications of Benzyl Alcohol: Dyes, Laboratory chemicals, Medicines, Epoxy systems, Adhesives and Sealants, Automotive, Coating, Agricultural (non-pesticide), Air care products, and Electronics.
As a volatile alcohol in skin care, Benzyl Alcohol can pose a risk of sensitivity when used in high amounts but benzoyl alcohol is considered safe as used in cosmetics (usually in concentrations up to 5%, and it may be used up to 10% in hair dyes).

BENEFITS OF BENZYL ALCOHOL:
*Versatility
*Good solvency power
*High purity
*Low vapor pressure

BENEFITS OF BENZYL ALCOHOL FOR SKIN:
Besides possibly having antioxidant properties and wound healing effects by promotion of collagen, benzyl alcohol doesn't have any specific benefits for your skin itself but rather helps to optimize skincare formulas so that they can better perform for your skin.
Here's what benzyl alcohol can do:

*Preserve the product:
Benzyl Alcohol acts as a preservative in skincare and cosmetic products due to its antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.
Any cosmetic or personal care product that is made with no preservatives (for example, preservative-free eye drops) generally comes in individual single-use containers to prevent contamination by contact or air.
Benzyl alcohol allows products to be bottled in larger packages designed for more than one use.

*Stabilizes the formula:
Benzyl Alcohol also acts as a stabilizing agent against the oxidative breakdown of the product, which means it allows your products to work more effectively for a longer period.

*Provides Antioxidant activity:
Benzyl Alcohol also has antioxidant properties, and antioxidants protect against free-radical damage.

*Dissolves ingredients:
Benzyl alcohol acts as a solvent and helps to dissolve other ingredients in a product's formula.

*Decreases viscosity:
Benzyl alcohol also decreases viscosity, which allows products to flow more easily.

*Imparts a nice scent:
As an aromatic alcohol, benzyl alcohol is naturally fragrant and slightly sweet.
Benzyl Alcohol's also naturally found in some essential oils, including ylang-ylang and jasmine, and has a delicate floral scent.

NATURAL OCCURRENCES OF BENZYL ALCOHOL:
Benzyl alcohol is produced naturally by many plants and is commonly found in fruits and teas.
Benzyl Alcohol is also found in a variety of essential oils including jasmine, hyacinth and ylang-ylang.
Benzyl Alcohol is also found in castoreum from the castor sacs of beavers.
Benzyl esters also occur naturally.

PREPARATION BENZYL ALCOHOL
Benzyl alcohol is produced industrially from toluene via benzyl chloride, which is hydrolyzed:
C6H5CH2Cl + H2O → C6H5CH2OH + HCl
Another route entails hydrogenation of benzaldehyde, a by-product of the oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid.

For laboratory use, Grignard reaction of phenylmagnesium bromide (C6H5MgBr) with formaldehyde and the Cannizzaro reaction of benzaldehyde also give benzyl alcohol.
The latter also gives benzoic acid, an example of an organic disproportionation reaction.

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES BENZYL ALCOHOL
Benzyl alcohol has a characteristic pleasant, fruity odor and a slightly pungent, sweet taste; the note tends to become similar to that of benzyl aldehyde on aging.
Benzyl Alcohol is slightly soluble in water, and miscible with alcohol, ether, chloroform and so on.

MAIN BENEFITS BENZYL ALCOHOL
*Preserves,
*stabilizes,
*dissolves ingredients

*Who should use it:
In general, benzyl alcohol is safe to use by anyone who does not have a true contact allergy to it.

*How often can you use it:
Benzyl alcohol is safe to use daily if you're not sensitive to it and if it's used at a low concentration.

*Works well with:
Benzyl alcohol works well with most, if not all, other ingredients.

*Don't use with:
Benzyl alcohol works well with most, if not all, other ingredients.

HISTORY OF BENZYL ALCOHOL:
LIEBIG and WO¨HLER first prepared benzyl alcohol from bitter almond oil (benzaldehyde) in 1832.
The structure of benzyl alcohol was determined in 1853 by CANNIZZARO.
CANNIZZARO used the reaction named after him, in which benzaldehyde is disproportionated into benzoic acid and benzyl alcohol through the action of an alkali.

PRODUCTION METHOD OF BENZYL ALCOHOL:
Benzyl chloride with potassium or sodium is heated for a long time, and hydrolyzes to yield benzyl alcohol.
Benzaldehyde in methanol and sodium hydroxide solution react to benzyl alcohol at 65~75 ℃.
Benzyl Alcohol has high purity.

Using benzyl chloride as raw materials, it is heated and hydrolyzes to yield benzyl alcohol in the presence of the sodium catalyst.
Specification of spices benzyl alcohol(QB792-81): the relative density of 1.041-1.046; refractive index of 1.538-1.541; boiling range 203-206℃ and distillate volume more than 95%; dissolving completely in 30 volumes of distilled water; containing more than 98 percent of alcohol; chlorine test (NF) as the side reaction.

Raw material consumption quota: benzyl chloride 1600kg/t; soda ash 1000kg/t.
Benzyl alcohol exists naturally in orange flower, ylang-ylang, jasmine, gardenia, acacia, lilac and hyacinth.
Benzyl chloride or benzaldehyde is used as raw materials to prepare benzyl alcohol in the industry.

Add chlorobenzyl to 12% sodium carbonate solution, heat to 93 ℃ and stir for 5h.
Then warm the mixture to 101~103℃ and react for 10h.
After the reaction, cool Benzyl Alcohol to the room temperature, and add salt to saturation.

After still standing for stratification, take the upper liquid and get crude products through pressure distillation.
Then refine to gain the target products.

The yield is 70%～72%.
C6H5CH2Cl+H2O[Na2CO3]→C6H5CH2OH+NaCl+CO2↑

In the presence of sodium hydroxide, formaldehyde and benzaldehyde react to produce benzyl alcohol by disproportionation reaction.
C6H5CHO+HCHO[NaOH]→C6H5CH2OH+HCOONa

PREPARATION BENZYL ALCOHOL
Benzyl alcohol is prepared commercially by the distillation of benzyl chloride with potassium or sodium carbonate.
Benzyl Alcohol may also be prepared by the Cannizzaro reaction of benzaldehyde and potassium hydroxide.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES BENZYL ALCOHOL
Benzyl Alcohol is a colorless, hygroscopic, air sensitive liquid with a faint, pleasant, aromatic odor.
