Salicyl alcohol
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Salicyl alcohol (2-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol; Saligenin) is a phenolic alcohol-type topical anesthetic and strong sensitizer with antiseptic, antibacterial and antipyretic activities. Salicyl alcohol serves as a precursor for salicin synthesis. Salicyl alcohol induces contact dermatitis and eczematous skin reactions, and is a well-known allergen identified in phenolic resins. Salicyl alcohol is isolated from the barks of European aspen (Populus tremula), rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) and willow (Salix spp.). Salicyl alcohol is used in studies related to allergic contact dermatitis.

Solvent & Solubility
DMSO : ≥ 100 mg/mL (805.54 mM; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
H2O : 33.33 mg/mL (268.49 mM; Need ultrasonic)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 2 years; -20°C, 1 year. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 2 years. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 year.
* Note: If you choose water as the stock solution, please dilute it to the working solution, then filter and sterilize it with a 0.22 μm filter before use.

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly:
It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
