Benzyl laurate

Description:
Benzyl laurate, with the CAS number 140-25-0, is an ester formed from the reaction of benzoic acid and lauric acid. It is characterized by its clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid form, and it has a mild, pleasant odor. This compound is known for its low toxicity and is often used in cosmetic formulations, as a fragrance ingredient, and as a solvent due to its emulsifying properties. Benzyl laurate exhibits good solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. Its chemical structure includes a long hydrophobic lauric acid chain, which contributes to its surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including food and personal care products. Additionally, it has a relatively high flash point, indicating stability under normal conditions. Overall, benzyl laurate is valued for its functional properties in formulations, as well as its compatibility with a wide range of other ingredients.
