INFO

Ethyl salicylate, C9H10O3

Ethyl salicylate (C9H10O3) is a clear liquid that emits a faintly sweet, wintergreen-like aroma. It is frequently employed in the flavor and fragrance industry due to its pleasant, minty scent and taste. Apart from its applications in perfumes and as a flavoring agent in certain candies and pharmaceutical products, ethyl salicylate is also utilized in sunscreens and other cosmetic products. Furthermore, this compound has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, making it of interest in medical research.
