Isobutyl salicylate

CAS: 87-19-4

Overview

Isobutyl salicylate (CAS 87-19-4 ), also known by its FEMA 2213 designation, is an ester used as a fragrance and flavoring ingredient across personal care, food, and pharmaceutical applications.

It delivers a characteristic sweet, floral, and slightly herbal scent profile that positions it as a functional ingredient in both finished consumer products and intermediate formulations for industrial use.

In fragrance compounding, it contributes to floral and oriental accords, commonly appearing in fine perfumes, soaps, and scented cosmetic formulations. Food and beverage manufacturers use it as a flavoring agent.

It is used to impart subtle fruity-herbal notes in confectionery, baked goods, and beverages. Personal care formulators incorporate it into sunscreen products and skin creams where stability is required.

Its compatibility with UV-active ingredients supports stable formulation design. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as a flavoring excipient in oral preparations where taste masking is a priority.

Isobutyl salicylate is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. It is available in fragrance-grade and food-grade specifications, with food-grade material conforming to FCC standards.

These standards are relevant for flavoring applications across the global market. Packaging typically ranges from small drums to bulk quantities suited to industrial procurement volumes and logistics.
