Benzyl Alcohol Supplier in India
Pharmaceutical, cosmetic and industrial grade Benzyl Alcohol — sourced, tested and exported by Zentish Exim Pvt Ltd
Product Overview
What is Benzyl Alcohol?
Benzyl Alcohol (CAS 100-51-6) is a colourless, slightly aromatic liquid alcohol widely used as a solvent, preservative, viscosity adjuster and fragrance ingredient. It is one of the most versatile specialty solvents in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, personal care and industrial applications, valued for its low volatility, mild odour and broad regulatory acceptance.
Zentish Exim Pvt Ltd supplies high-purity Benzyl Alcohol to manufacturers, formulators and distributors worldwide. As a dedicatedbenzyl alcohol supplier in India, we deliver batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (CoA), comprehensive MSDS documentation and consistent quality across every shipment — supporting regulated industries that require a reliable, compliant source.

Application Insights
Versatility That Earned Benzyl Alcohol Its Place
Few specialty solvents match benzyl alcohol's range. It dissolves resins, nitrocellulose and dyes; it stabilises emulsions; it carries fragrance and flavour actives; and it acts as an antimicrobial preservative in its own right. That multiplicity of function makes it an efficient stock-keeping unit for formulators, who can solve several problems with one well-characterised raw material.
In pharmaceutical production, benzyl alcohol appears in parenteral, topical and oral products as a solvent and preservative, and in injectable anaesthetic and antipruritic preparations where its mild local anaesthetic action is clinically useful. Its USP/NF monograph sets strict limits on benzaldehyde and chloride, which is why manufacturers moving to Indian sourcing insist on a supplier who can demonstrate compliant impurity data batch after batch — exactly what our documentation pack provides.
Cosmetic and personal care formulators value benzyl alcohol as a preservative booster that improves the efficacy of phenoxyethanol and other primary preservatives, while its pleasant, faintly aromatic character makes it a natural fit in fragrance systems as a solvent and fixative. Industrial users draw on its low volatility and good solvency in printing inks, textile printing pastes, leather finishing and cleaning formulations, where replacement of more hazardous aromatic solvents is a growing regulatory theme.

Supply Chain
Sourcing & Export Logistics from India
Indian producers manufacture benzyl alcohol mainly via the chlorination and hydrolysis of toluene, or by the benzaldehyde route, then purify to the tight impurity profiles that regulated industries demand. As a dedicated benzyl alcohol supplier in India, Zentish Exim maintains approved-vendor agreements with two producers qualified on benzaldehyde content, chloride, water and colour stability — the parameters that decide whether a lot is acceptable for pharmaceutical use.
Stock positions on the most requested pack sizes mean most orders dispatch within 7–10 days; we can also air-freight urgent quantities for line-extension launches or regulatory submissions. Every consignment is sealed, labelled and documented — CoA, MSDS, packing list, commercial invoice and Certificate of Origin — with batch numbers that trace back to the exact production lot, so your incoming inspection and quality release are straightforward.
