Description

Benzyl octanoate (CAS 10276-85-4 ), also known as benzyl caprylate, is an ester used as a flavoring agent and emollient carrier in food and personal care applications. It combines a mild, fatty-floral character with good solubility in oils. This makes it a functional ingredient for formulators working across both sectors. In flavor systems, it contributes a soft, fatty-floral note used in fruit, dairy, and confectionery flavor compositions. Personal care formulators use it as a skin-conditioning carrier and solvent for fragrance concentrates, active ingredients, and lipophilic extracts in serums, creams, and oils. Its low polarity supports solubilization of fragrance materials. In anhydrous and low-water formulations, it reduces the need for synthetic solvents. In fine fragrance and cosmetic blending, it functions as a fixative carrier that improves the spreadability and skin feel of finished products. The compound is supplied as a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid. It is available in cosmetic-grade and food-grade specifications to meet the requirements of personal care and flavor manufacturers respectively. Standard packaging ranges from small drums to bulk quantities suited to industrial procurement volumes. This ensures reliable supply chains for large-scale manufacturing and specialized laboratory applications alike. Contact us for supply of Benzyl octanoate Request Quote
