Octyl salicylate is used in the creation and/or manufacturing of flavor and fragrance agents. Octyl salicylate is a chemical UV filter that helps protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation by absorbing UVB rays. It is known for its ability to provide broad-spectrum sun protection and is often combined with other sunscreen agents to enhance their efficacy.
