Glycol salicylate (CAS 87-28-5) is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild, characteristic odor and moderate volatility. It is an aromatic ester formed from salicylic acid and ethylene glycol, classified as an organic chemical intermediate. Primarily used in the synthesis of specialty esters and UV-absorbing compounds, it serves as a building block for pharmaceutical actives, cosmetic preservatives, and polymer stabilizers. Its main application areas include pharmaceuticals—particularly topical analgesics—and personal care formulations, where it functions as a penetration enhancer and fragrance fixative. It is also employed in certain high-performance coatings requiring improved film flexibility and adhesion.
