Benzyl Benzoate is the ester of benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid. It is used in cosmetics for enhancing balsamic aromas as well as being used in many other fields including insecticides. Unfortunately, it can also be used as an additive in foods as well as being part of the "famous and generic" artificial flavors. It is also used as a solvent in many chemical reactions and it is a plasticizer for some chemical polymers. In a word, a truly chemical product!
