Benzyl benzoate (BnBzO) is mediation and insect repellent. It is one of the older preparation used to treat scabies which is a skin infection caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei since it is lethal to the mite. It is capable of killing the mite in 5 minutes. It can also be used for the treatment of lice infestation of the head and the body. Its mechanism of action is through exerting a toxic effects on the nervous system of the insects, further causing its death. It is also toxic to mite ova through an unknown mechanism. It can also be used as a repellent for chiggers, ticks, and mosquitoes as well as a dye carrier, solvent of cellulose derivatives, plasticizer, and a fixative.
Uses
Medical
Benzyl benzoate is an effective and inexpensive topical treatment for human scabies. It has vasodilating and spasmolytic effects and is present in many asthma and whooping cough drugs. It is also used as an excipient in some testosterone-replacement medications (like Nebido) for treating hypogonadism.
Benzyl benzoate is used as a topical acaricide, scabicide, and pediculicide in veterinary hospitals.
Non-medical
Benzyl benzoate is used as a repellent for chiggers, ticks, and mosquitoes. It is also used as a dye carrier, solvent for cellulose derivatives, plasticizer, and fixative in the perfume industry.
Chemistry
It is an organic compound with the formula C6H5CH2O2CC6H5. It is the ester of benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid. It forms either a viscous liquid or solid flakes and has a weak, sweet-balsamic odor. It occurs in a number of blossoms (e. g. tuberose) and is a component of Balsam of Peru and Tolu balsam.
Production
Benzyl benzoate is produced industrially by the reaction of sodium benzoate with benzyl alcohol in the presence of a base, or by transesterification of methyl benzoate and benzyl alcohol. It is a byproduct of benzoic acid synthesis by toluene oxidation. It can also be synthesized by the Tishchenko reaction, using benzaldehyde with sodium benzilate (generated from sodium and benzyl alcohol) as a catalyst:
The Tishchenko reaction: benzaldehyde reacts to benzyl benzoate, the catalyst is sodium benzilate.
It occurs naturally in essential oils such as ylang-ylang, rosewood, cinnamon and benzoin.
When these essential oils are not used in a product, Benzyl Benzoate can be added in its synthetic form because of its amazing scent and excellent solvent properties. Indeed, it dissolves other perfume materials, allowing them to blend more easily.
What is Benzyl Benzoate?
Benzyl benzoate is a naturally occurring molecule found in some plants and is made up of benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid. In cosmetic products, it plays a number of roles depending on the product and it can act as a fragrance, a solvent, a plasticizer, a preservative, and a fixative.
How does it work?
As a fragrance, benzyl benzoate can add a balsamic smell to a product. It can also work with other fragrances as a solvent to help them dissolve into the mixture. Benzyl benzoate also acts as a fixative in perfumed products where it slows down the escape of other fragrances and increases the life span of the fragrance.
When added to more solid products like soaps, benzyl benzoate can act as a plasticizer. A plasticizer makes a product less brittle so a soap containing it can be bent and squished more before it snaps or crumbles.
Benzyl benzoate is used to treat lice and scabies infestations. This medicine is believed to be absorbed by the lice and mites and to destroy them by acting on their nervous system.
Benzyl benzoate is one of the older preparations used to treat scabies. Scabies is a skin infection caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. It is characterized by severe itching (particularly at night), red spots, and may lead to a secondary infection. Benzyl benzoate is lethal to this mite and so is useful in the treatment of scabies. It is also used to treat lice infestation of the head and body.
Mechanism of action
Benzyl benzoate exerts toxic effects on the nervous system of the parasite, resulting in its death. It is also toxic to mite ova, though its exact mechanism of action is unknown. In vitro, benzyl benzoate has been found to kill the Sarcoptes mite within 5 minutes.
Absorption
No data are available on the percutaneous absorption of benzyl benzoate. Some older studies have suggested some percutaneous absorption, however, the amount was not quantified.
Metabolism
Rapidly hydrolyzed to benzoic acid and benzyl alcohol, which is further oxidized to benzoic acid. The benzoic acid is conjugated with glycine to form hippuric acid.
Benzyl benzoate is a benzyl compound that can be synthesized by reacting benzyl chloride with sodium benzoate in the presence of tetrabutylaramonium iodide. It is reported to be the key constituent in the essential oils isolated from leaves and stem bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum.
Benzyl benzoate, an ester of benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid, is widely used as a fragrance fixer, fragrance ingredient and preservative to maintain the potency and stability of a variety of cosmetic formulations. It is also employed as a synthetic musk, acaricide to treat scabies and headlice.

HOW BENZYL BENZOATE IS PRODUCED
Benzyl Benzoate is a naturally occurring molecule found in some plants (plant species of the genus Polyalthia) and consists of benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid. Benzyl benzoate was first studied medically in 1918.
It is a Benzoate ester obtained by formal condensation of Benzoic acid with Benzyl Alcohol. It can also be produced by the Tishchenko reaction, using benzaldehyde with sodium benzylate (produced from sodium and benzyl alcohol) as a catalyst.
BENZYL BENZOATE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
• Benzyl Benzoate is insoluble in water and glycerol. Soluble in ethanol, ethyl ether, acetone, benzene, methanol, chloroform.
• Benzyl Benzoate is stable under recommended storage conditions.
• Benzyl Benzoate, when heated to decompose, produces bitter and irritating fumes.
• It is in the form of a viscous liquid or solid flakes and has a weak balsamic odor.
Benzyl Benzoate has a high molecular weight, making it an extensively used fixative in the fine fragrance and perfume industry. It is used in topical pharmaceutical formulations for the treatment of lice and scabies. Additionally, Kalama Benzyl Benzoate is valued for its compatibility with candlewax, incorporating fragrance to fine candles while also promoting clean burning.
Treatment of scabies is with topical permethrin, benzyl benzoate, malathion,to its ir or oral ivermectin. The patient should apply 5% permethrin cream to the whole body, including the scalp, all folds, groin, navel, external genitalia, and skin under the nails, washing it off after 12 hours. In adults with classical scabies, treatment of the face is controversial, but in babies, the skin of the face should also be treated. A second application 7 days after the original treatment must be prescribed and all the affected members of a household require treatment at the same time to prevent cyclical reinfestations. Oral ivermectin is being increasingly used as a first-line treatment. Severe outbreaks require a second dose of ivermectin at a 2-week interval (200 µg/kg body weight). Treatment of secondary bacterial infection and antihistamines may be required. Washing clothes and linen at 60° C will kill all the young fecundated female mites (an alternative is to keep these in a plastic bag for 48-72 hours, as mites separated from the human host die within this time). It is important to explain that pruritus commonly lasts for several weeks after cure, which may be partially alleviated by non-sedating or sedating antihistamines.
Benzyl benzoate is used as an insecticide to kill scabies mites, dust mites, and ticks. It is also used as a plasticizer, a fixative in fragrances, a food additive, and a solvent. Dermatitis is the primary adverse reaction to its use as a topical solution. At high concentrations, it has been found to possess estrogenic properties and to stimulate the growth of human breast cells.

Benzyl benzoate of high purity has a slight fragrance. Benzyl benzoate is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Benzyl benzoate is a high-temperature solvent, is the only solvent of Musk. Benzyl benzoate has applications to the pharmacy and perfume industry just because of its characters of low volatilization and relative stability.
Benzyl Benzoate is a solvent. This means solutes such as Hormone Powders dissolve easily in it, and that is the main purpose of its use in Steroids. The Benzyl Benzoate is used to dissolve and suspend the Hormone Powder. If the correct amount of this solvent is not used the Hormone powder will 'undissolved from the solution causing the Steroids to 'Crash' (get cloudy/less effective).
Some Hormone Powder dissolves more easily than others and therefore less Benzyl Benzoate is required. The fact that varying amounts of solvent is required for the Hormone Powders is why having this page as a resource is so vital.
Benzyl Benzoate (BB) is the primary solvent, which keeps the product from is A co-solvent in steroid that serves several functions: helps dissolve the hormone, helps keep it in solution in depot (injection site), and thins the gear so it is easy to draw and inject.

Benzyl benzoate has applications in the pharmacy and perfume industry just because of its characters of low volatilization and relative stability.
Applications:
Benzyl benzoate is mainly used in the area of textile auxiliary, fragrance and flavour, pharmacy, plasticizer and so on. Benzyl benzoate can be used as to lead agent, levelling agent and repair agent of textile auxiliaries. Mechanism: With the development of the textile industry, the materials are of a higher grade. The higher-grade cloth is, the more compact fabric is. So in dyeing, there are more difficulties in colouring and uniformity Due to the good plasticity performance, benzyl benzoate makes the fiber swell and undraw so that the fibre will be dyed easily. At the same time, benzyl benzoate is a good solvent to dissolve and disperse dye evenly. Since its quite good dye migration performance, benzyl benzoate could be developed as levelling agents and lead agents. There are many other materials, which have similar properties to benzyl benzoate, such as methylnaphthalene, dimethylnaphthalene, methyl salicylate, and benzene ester.
