* Benzyl Alcohol was selected as it allows for low inclusion levels and is globally compliant, broad-spectrum, fast-drying, and compatible with most ingredients and pH’s. With most haircare formulations being fragranced, we felt it would be widely acceptable. However, if you have a project where Benzyl Alcohol isn’t accepted, we can offer alternative options.
