This is a functional ingredient. It makes the formula work, feel good, or stay safe, rather than acting on the skin or hair itself. We list it because you deserve to know everything that is in the bottle.
What it is
C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate is a widely-used emollient ester. It is prized for a dry, silky skin-feel, good stability, and its ability to help dissolve and evenly distribute other ingredients, including some UV filters, throughout a formula.
What it does in the formula
