Methyl salicylate lotion

Figure 2.5 Reported concentrations of various PPCPs in Wastewater effluents by several research groups. On the x axis are respective PPCPs that are primarily cosmetics (1 = HHCB, 2 = AHTN, 3 = acetophenone, 4 = camphor, 5 = isobomeol, 6 = skatol, 7 = celestolide, i.e., AHMI, 8 = Phantolide, i.e., AHMI), the lotion ingredient (9 = methyl salicylate), two disinfectants (10 = triclosan and 11 = trilocarban), antihypertensive (12 = dehydronifedipine, 13 = diltiazem, 14 = bezafibrate, and 15 = gemfibrozil), analgesics and anti-inflammatories (16 = naproxen, 17 = ibuprofen, 18 = codeine), antimicrobials (19 = chlortetracycline, 20 = erythromycin, 21 = novobiocin, 22 = oxytetracycline, 23 = sulfamethaxazole, 24 = thiabendazole, 25 = trimethoprim), anxiolytic sedative (26 = carbamazepine), antidiabetic (27 = metaformin), reproductive (28 = 17(3 estradiol, 29 = 17a-ethinyl estradiol), GIT (30 = cimetidine, 31 = ranitidine), and respiratory (32 = Albuterol). The concentrations were compiled from Boyd et al. (2003), Gagne et al. (2006), Glassmeyer et al. (2005), Halden and Pauli (2005), Huang and Sedlak (2001), Ricking et al. (2003), and Temes et al. (2003).

Salicylamide [65-45-2] is prepared by the reaction of methyl salicylate with ammonia. Salicylamide has mild analgesic, antiinflammatory, and antipyretic properties. Salicylamide is unlike other salicylates in that it causes sedation and central nervous system depression. Salicylamide is not hydrolyzed to salicylate and its action depends on the entire molecule. Salicylamide has been useful for protection against mildew and fungus in a variety of soaps, salves, lotions, and oils. The May 1996 price was 8.00/kg (18).

Perfumes, Flavors, Cosmetics, and Soap. Many naturally occurring esters in essential oils and some synthetic esters are important fragrance and flavor compounds (61,62). They are used in perfumes, flavors, cosmetics, soaps, deteigents, and air fresheners. Benzyl, butyl, ethyl, methyl, and phenyl esters of benzoic acid are used as flavors, perfumes, and food preservatives. Glyceryl 4-aminobenzoate [13644-7] and 2-ethylhexyl 4-dimethylaminobenzoate [21245-02-3] are used in cosmetic sunscreen preparations. Alkyl esters of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, called parabens, have been used under various names for fungus infections of the skin, and as preservatives in lotions and creams (101). Soap and cosmetic fragrances use large amounts of amyl and benzyl salicylate. Benzyl salicylate [118-58-1] is also used in deodorant sprays. 2-Ethylhexyl salicylate [118-60-5] and 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate [5466-77-3] are used in sunscreen formulations (102).
