Hexyl salicylate

Hexyl salicylate (CAS 6259-76-3) is a synthetic fragrance ester used primarily in perfumery and cosmetic formulations. It delivers a soft, floral-woody scent character and functions as a UV-absorbing ingredient in sun care products. In fine fragrance and functional fragrance applications, it contributes warm, powdery floral notes and is commonly blended into soaps, lotions, and fabric care products. This versatile ester provides excellent fixative properties for floral compositions.

Sun care formulators incorporate it as a UV filter to help protect formulations and substrates from photodegradation. In personal care products such as moisturizers and hair care, it supports both scent performance and light stabilization. Pharmaceutical topical formulations may also use it where controlled fragrance and mild UV protection are required in the same base. It is valued for its stability and compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients and solvents.

Hexyl salicylate is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. It is available in fragrance-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with purity levels typically at 98% or higher to ensure consistent performance in high-end applications. Packaging options generally range from small drums to bulk quantities suited to industrial fragrance and personal care manufacturing. Our material meets rigorous industry benchmarks for quality and olfactory consistency across all production batches.
