What it is
Benzyl alcohol is the English name used for BENZYL ALCOHOL in the INCI nomenclature. The record describes it as an aromatic alcohol and gives Benzyl alcohol as its chemical name.
The available identification includes CAS number 100-51-6 and EC number 202-859-9. These details accompany the technical designation and help distinguish the record beyond the INCI name.
What it does in a formula
BENZYL ALCOHOL is classified as PRESERVATIVE, SOLVENT, VISCOSITY CONTROLLING and PERFUMING. The record brings together a preservative function, a solvent function, viscosity control and the role of perfuming within a formula.
These classifications describe roles assigned to the ingredient in a cosmetic composition. They do not state the concentration used or establish an effect for a finished product in a particular situation.
Conditions and care
The record lists cosmetic restriction codes III/45 and V/34 for BENZYL ALCOHOL. The two codes appear without a maximum concentration, condition of use or accompanying text that details how they apply in this entry.
For that reason, they should not be turned into use guidance or a safety assessment. The record confirms that both restrictions exist, but provides no basis for setting limits beyond the information shown.
