If a product lists Benzyl Benzoate, its fragrance-free answer is No. Nothing else changes.
What it does
Benzyl benzoate dissolves and fixes perfume molecules so a scent lasts longer; it also occurs naturally in balsams and ylang-ylang oil. CosIng lists it as solvent, perfuming and antimicrobial.
It is one of the fragrance allergens EU labels must declare, so seeing it means the product is scented and the fragrance-free answer is no.
Functions: solvent, fragrance, declared allergen
