Overview

About Benzyl Alcohol

Benzyl Alcohol is a high-purity aromatic alcohol widely used across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, flavor, and fragrance industries. It occurs naturally in essential oils such as jasmine, hyacinth, and ylang-ylang, and is valued for its mild, pleasant aromatic profile.

As a versatile solvent and preservative, Benzyl Alcohol serves as an effective antimicrobial preservative in injectable pharmaceutical formulations, a carrier solvent in perfume and flavor compositions, and a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of esters, dyes, and resins. Its low toxicity, excellent solvency power, and biodegradability make it a preferred choice for formulators worldwide.

Zentish Exim supplies Benzyl Alcohol meeting USP, FCC, and technical grade specifications, manufactured under strict quality control at our GMP-certified facility in India. Each batch is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis and is available in bulk quantities for global export.
