Methyl Salicylate or Methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate is a strong, minty-sweet aromatic ester compound. Found in plants like Gaultheria procumbens, Methyl 2-hydroxybenzoate is synthetically produced for use in fragrances, flavorings, & topical analgesics. This C8H8O3's powerful scent profile makes it a staple in oral care, cosmetics, and F&F formulations. Methyl Salicylate has distinct wintergreen aroma, works for both fragrance composition and cooling sensation delivery. Methyl Salicylate also known as (Analgit, Gaultheriaoel, Wintergruenoel, wintergreen oil) in industry, and largely used across personal care, topical OTC products, and flavor-enhanced consumer goods.
