You are purchasing crimped borosilicate vials of high purity Benzyl Alcohol pharmaceutical grade 99.8%.
Sizes 25ml through to 200ml are supplied in crimped vials, and 500ml and in glass bottles with wadded screw caps.

Benzyl alcohol is a natural constituent of several essential oils, including ylang ylang, jasmine and styrax. This fragrance material also has antiseptic and antibacterial properties which means it can be used as a preservative, even in its synthetic form.

Our Benzyl Alcohol is high purity, crystal clear and conforms to British Pharmacopeia. Beware of cheap, low grade imports.
