Benzyl Alcohol

Benzyl alcohol is an aromatic organic compound that occurs as a colorless liquid with a characteristic almond odor. It is used in various industries, including as a preservative, solvent, and perfume. Benzyl alcohol is also found in some personal care products, such as lotions, creams, and perfumes, due to its antimicrobial properties and ability to stabilize formulations. However, it can cause skin irritation in some sensitive people.
