ethylhexyl salicylate is an FDA-approved uVB sunscreen chemical, it absorbs within the entire uVB range. It has an approved usage level of 3 to 5 percent in both the united States and the european union, and is a good solubilizer for benzophenone-3. In suntan lotions, it is used as a preservative and anti-microbial. This is a salt of salicylic acid occurring in wintergreen leaves and in other plants. It is also synthetically manufactured. It is considered a non-comedogenic raw material. This is the InCI name for octyl salicylate. | [CAS DataBase Reference]

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Ethylhexyl salicylate is a benzoate ester and a member of phenols. It is functionally related to a salicylic acid. | [Preparation]
From 2-ethylhexanol and salicylic acid by azeotropic-type esterification (Arctander, 1969). | [Brand name]
Escalol (ISP Van Dyk); Neo Heliopan (Haarmann & Reimer, Germany); Uvinul (BASF). Note—The International Cosmetic Ingredient (INCI) name for octisalate is octyl salicylate. | [General Description]
2-Ethylhexyl salicylate(EHS) is an organic ultraviolet(UV) absorber that can be used as a photostable ingredient in cosmetic formulations. It shows an absorption spectra in the range of 280-320 nm in the UV region. | [Flammability and Explosibility]
Nonflammable |
