Ethyl salicylate

Ethyl salicylate (CAS 118-61-6 ), also known commercially as Salstan and Salotan, is the ethyl ester of salicylic acid used across fragrance, flavor, and UV protection applications.

FEMA 2458 designates its use as a flavor ingredient, where it contributes a characteristic wintergreen-like, sweet-floral note to finished products and food systems.

In fragrance and flavor formulations, it functions as a fixative and aromatic modifier in perfumes, soaps, and food flavoring systems to enhance the overall profile of the product.

Personal care manufacturers incorporate it into sunscreen and cosmetic formulations for its UV-absorbing properties, helping protect both the end product and the consumer from UV degradation.

Pharmaceutical formulators use it as an intermediate and carrier solvent in topical preparations and medicated products. It is valued for its stability and compatibility in these systems.

In plastics and polymer processing, it acts as a UV stabilizer and antioxidant additive to extend the service life of finished materials by preventing degradation from light exposure.

Ethyl salicylate is supplied as a clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities suited to industrial procurement volumes. Food-grade material is available in compliance with FEMA standards.

Technical and cosmetic-grade specifications are also offered to meet the requirements of UV stabilizer and personal care end uses, ensuring high quality for industrial applications.
