Benzyl benzoate is used as an acaricide, scabicide, and pediculicide in veterinary hospitals. It is also a repellent for chiggers, ticks, and mosquitoes.[4] It is an effective and inexpensive topical treatment for human scabies.[5] It has vasodilating and spasmolytic effects and is present in many asthma and whooping cough drugs.[6]
Other uses of benzyl benzoate are dye carrier, solvent for cellulose derivatives, plasticizer, and fixative in the perfume industry.[
