  • Substitute for Benzyl alcohol

    Posted by Anonymous on February 21, 2020 at 3:57 pm

    I have a lice treatment formulation that I make and one of the ingredients is benzyl alcohol.  It is considered an active ingredient in some treatments (ulesfia-5%), while other products call it a preservative (even at 10%). 
    I am curious if anyone knows of a similar compound that could replace the BA.

    Why do you want to replace it? And do you want the new ingredient to be the active ingredient, or the preservative?
