Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

liquid

Occurrence

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature.

Uses

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.

Uses

Solvent for solid sunscreens.

Uses

octisalate is a uVB protector. This is the drug name for ethylhexyl salicylate and octyl salicylate.

Uses

2-ethylhexyl salicylate is also known as ethylhexyl salicylate and octyl salicylate. It is a uVB absorber.

Preparation

From 2-ethylhexanol and salicylic acid by azeotropic-type esterification (Arctander, 1969).

Definition

ChEBI: Ethylhexyl salicylate is a benzoate ester and a member of phenols. It is functionally related to a salicylic acid.
