Isopropyl salicylate

Isopropyl salicylate ( CAS 607-85-2 ) is an ester used primarily as a fragrance ingredient and flavoring agent across personal care and pharmaceutical applications. Its mild, pleasant odor profile makes it a functional component in scent formulations.

In personal care, it is incorporated into perfumes, lotions, and skin-care products as a fragrance modifier that extends and softens the overall scent profile. This chemical provides a subtle, clean character required for high-end formulations.

Pharmaceutical formulators use it as an intermediate in the synthesis of active ingredients and as a functional excipient in topical preparations. It serves as a versatile building block for various medicinal compounds and skin treatments.

In flavor applications, it contributes a light, sweet-herbal note to products where FEMA -approved esters are specified. This makes it a valuable addition to food-grade aromatic profiles and specialized flavoring systems.

Cosmetic manufacturers also use it in sunscreen and after-sun formulations, where its ester structure supports compatibility with other salicylate-based actives. It integrates seamlessly into complex oil-in-water emulsions and protective creams.

The product is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. It is available in fragrance-grade and technical-grade specifications to meet the distinct purity requirements of cosmetic versus industrial buyers.

Packaging typically ranges from small drums for specialty formulators to bulk quantities for larger-scale manufacturing. We ensure all batches meet rigorous internal quality controls for consistency and performance in your final application.
