Benzyl Benzoate
Benzyl benzoate is one of the older preparations used to treat scabies. Scabies is a skin infection caused by the mite sarcoptes scabiei. It is characterised by severe itching (particularly at night), red spots, and may lead to a secondary infection. Benzyl benzoate is lethal to this mite and so is useful in the treatment of scabies. It is also used to treat lice infestation of the head and body. Benzyl benzoate is not the treatment of choice for scabies due to its irritant properties. Benzyl benzoate exerts toxic effects on the nervous system of the parasite, resulting in its death. It is also toxic to mite ova, though its exact mechanism of action is unknown. In vitro, benzyl benzoate has been found to kill the Sarcoptes mite within 5 minutes.

In cosmetics and personal care products, Cinnamal is used in the formulation of aftershave lotions, bath products, dentifrices, lipsticks, moisturizers, and mouthwashes and breath fresheners (https://cosmeticsinfo.org/ingredient/cinnamal-0)
Cinnamyl Alcohol
Cinnamyl Alcohol is a naturally occurring fragrance compound found in the bark of cinnamon trees, as well as in the leaves of the tea-tree, and hyacinth and daffodil flowers. It can also be produced synthetically (https://cosmeticsinfo.org/ingredient/cinnamyl-alcohol-0). Cinnamyl alcohol and its esters are used in perfumery. It is also used in multicolor printing, in animal repellents, and insect attractants (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/0471238961.0309141405091205.a01.pub2).
Citral
Citral is a unsaturated aldehyde, commonly known and prefer for its distinct, acceptable, and lemon-like pleasant odor (Berk, 2016). Citral is a main component of citrus fruit's peel oil. It is especially found in orange peel. Citral has been applied to food, cosmetics, and beverages as a natural ingredient for its passionate lemon aroma and flavor. Essential oils, which presenting citral have been demonstrated to show antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiparasitic characteristics, accomplishing citral a natural preservative (Zeng et al., 2015) (https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/citral).
Citronellol
Citronellol is a volatile fragrance chemical extracted from geranium, rose, and other plants, citronellol has a characteristic grassy, citrus-like scent (https://www.paulaschoice.com/ingredient-dictionary/fragrance-synthetic-and-fragrant-plant-extracts/citronellol.html). They often have a strong scent and may protect the plants that produce them by deterring herbivores and by attracting predators and parasites of herbivores. Citronellol is a naturally occurring ingredient used in skincare and cosmetic formulations to improve the scent of products. It is also often used in perfume formulations to help enhance the intensity of other scent ingredients. In perfumes, citronellol functions as a fragrance enhancer since it has the ability to enhance the aromas of floral types especially rose. In the skincare industry, citronellol is prominently used as a fragrance ingredient for cosmetics and skincare products. Research suggests that the topical application of citronellol has low permeability and potency, meaning that it doesn’t penetrate deeply into the skin or isn’t absorbed into the skin. Unlike many essential oil components, citronellol doesn’t cause irritation. While this is the case, it can cause sensitivity and irritation in some skin types. The low likelihood of irritation makes citronellol an ideal ingredient to improve the scent of products, such as shampoos, lotions, creams, shaving creams, and bath products. It is one of the active components of citronella oil insect repellents and citronella candles. In fact, citronella has been registered as a gentle, plant-based insect repellent in the U.S. since 1948. Citronella insect repellents have even been shown to repel dangerous Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are capable of spreading dengue fever and the Zika virus. The United States Food and Drug Administration considers citronellol as generally recognized as safe for direct addition to food. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel defers review of individual fragrance ingredients to the International Fragrance Association program unless the ingredient has significant uses other than as a fragrance.The safety of citronellol has been evaluated by the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials Expert Panel. Based on the evaluation, citronellol is restricted in fragrances because of potential sensitization. However, the degree to which citronellol can cause an allergic reaction in humans is disputed. As mentioned above, citronellol has low permeability when applied to the skin, which means it is not absorbed into the deeper layers of skin. However, when products containing citronellol are applied to the skin, a problem arises when citronellol is exposed to air. This exposure causes the unstable citronellol molecule to oxidize, which is believed to trigger aggravation on the skin. Due to the possibility of an allergic reaction, those with sensitive skin should try to avoid citronellol or perform a patch test with any product containing this ingredient.
Coumarin
Coumarins exhibited antitumor activities at different stages of cancer formation through various mechanisms, such as blocking cell cycle, inducing cell apoptosis, modulating estrogen receptor, or inhibiting the DNA-associated enzymes, such as topoisomerase (Emami and Dadashpour, 2015).
From: Value-Added Ingredients and Enrichments of Beverages, 2019
Coumarins are phenolic substances composed of fused benzene and α-pyrone rings. At least 1300 different coumarins have been identified. Coumarins have antithrombotic, antiinflammatory, and vasodilatory activities. Warfarin is the most popular one and it is used as an oral anticoagulant and rodenticide. Coumarins may also have antiviral effects and are highly toxic in rodents. Some of the coumarins compounds have antimicrobial effects such as an inhibitory effect against C. albicans and thus can be used to cure vaginal candidiasis. In addition, coumarins can induce macrophages which exert a negative effect on bacterial infections.

Eugenol
Eugenol, also called clove oil, is an aromatic oil extracted from cloves that is used widely as a flavoring for foods and teas and as an herbal oil used topically to treat toothache and more rarely to be taken orally to treat gastrointestinal and respiratory complaints. Eugenol in therapeutic doses has not been implicated in causing serum enzyme elevations or clinically apparent liver injury, but ingestions of high doses, as with an overdose, can cause severe liver injury (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Eugenol). Oil of cloves or eugenol is commonly used by dentists because it is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. They often apply it to the gums to kill germs and relieve the pain of dental surgery such as tooth extractions, fillings, and root canals (https://www.motherearthliving.com/plant-profile/eugenol).
Farnesol
Farnesol is a colorless liquid extracted from oils of plants such as citronella, neroli, cyclamen, and tuberose. It is an intermediate step in the biological synthesis of cholesterol from mevalonic acid in vertebrates. It has a delicate odor and is used in perfumery (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Farnesol#section=Use) Farnesol has been identified as an antioxidant (https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology/farnesol).
Geraniol
Geraniol is a monoterpene that is found within many essential oils of fruits, vegetables, and herbs including rose oil, citronella, lemongrass, lavender, and other aromatic plants. It is emitted from the flowers of many species of plants and is commonly used by the food, fragrance, and cosmetic industry. Geraniol has demonstrated a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and neuroprotective to name a few. Interestingly, geraniol has also been shown to sensitize tumour cells to commonly used chemotherapies including [DB00544] and [DB01248] and represents a promising cancer chemopreventive agent. Due to its anticancer effects, geraniol has been found to be effective against a broad range of cancers including breast, lung, colon, prostate, pancreatic, skin, liver, kidney and oral cancers. These pharmacologic effects are clinically important as geraniol is classified as generally-recognized-as-safe (GRAS) by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States. Sensitivity to geraniol may be identified with a clinical patch test. https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Geraniol

Limonene
Limonene is a chemical found in the rind of citrus fruits, such as lemons, limes, and oranges. It is especially concentrated in orange peels, comprising around 97% of this rind’s essential oils (2Trusted Source). Limonene is one of the most common terpenes found in nature and may offer several health benefits. It has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress, and possibly disease-preventing and anti-cancer properties. Limonene is a popular additive in foods, cosmetics, cleaning products, and natural insect repellants. For example, it’s used in foods like sodas, desserts, and candies to provide a lemony flavor. Due to its strong aroma, limonene is utilized as a botanical insecticide. It’s an active ingredient in multiple pesticide products, such as eco-friendly insect repellents. Other household products containing this compound include soaps, shampoos, lotions, perfumes, laundry detergents, and air fresheners. Additionally, limonene is available in concentrated supplements in capsule and liquid form. These are often marketed for their supposed health benefits.This citrus compound is also used as an aromatic oil for its calming and therapeutic properties.

Linalool
Like most botanical terpenes, Linalool is not specific to any one plant. You've no doubt encountered linalool if you've ever smelled lavender, either fresh, dried, or in the form of an essential oil. Linalool can be found in upwards of 200 plants, ranging from:
Lamiaceae (lavender, mints, scented herbs)，Lauraceae (laurels,cinnamon, rosewood)，Rutaceae (citrus fruits)，FungiBirch trees. Linalool has a floral aroma similar to lavender with a touch of spiciness that lends to its many commercial applications in creams and oils. Linalool is an Anti-Inflammatory and Pain Reducer: Linalool is useful for dampening overractive responses to injury or sickness; an Anti-Epileptic: Linalool is "very powerful in it's anticonvulsant quality", a stress Reducer: Linalool inhalation has been shown to act as an anxiolytic (anxiety reducer) and may boost immune system performance; a Vampire Deterrent: Linalool can deter mosquitos with 93% efficiency;a Sedative: Linalool can improve sleep and increase energy the following morning; an Anti-Microbial Modulator: Linalool may improve anti-microbial properties. Linalool can have cytotoxic effects by inducing cells to undergo apoptosis and triggering cell death. The majority of studies pertaining to the monoterpenoid linalool are typically focused on its capacity to suppress microorganisms, with few having endeavored to research aspects of its ANTI-CANCER activity. Linalool offers tremendous potential in terms of treating cancer and immunity. We believe that this substance can substantially ENHANCE TUMOR TREATMENTS and provide novel starting points for FUTURE CANCER RESEARCHES

THE SCIENCE & SAFETY BEHIND YOUR FAVORITE PRODUCTS
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate:
A clear, oil-soluble, "cosmetically-elegant" liquid that is the most commonly used chemical sunscreen. It absorbs UVB radiation (at wavelengths: 280-320 nm) with a peak protection at 310nm. It only protects against UVB and not UVA rays (the 320-400 nm range) – so always choose products that contain other sunscreens too. It is not very stable either, when exposed to sunlight, it kind of breaks down and loses its effectiveness (not instantly, but over time - it loses 10% of its SPF protection ability within 35 mins). Ethylhexyl is considered "safe as used" (and sunscreens are pretty well regulated) and it is available worldwide (can be used up to 10% in the EU and up to 7.5% in the US) (INCI).
Ethylhexyl salicylate
A colorless to light yellowish oily liquid that works as a UVB (280-320nm) sunscreen filter with a peak absorbance at 306 nm. It's not a strong filter in itself, it's always used in combination with other sunscreen agents to further enhance the SPF and to solubilize other solid UV filters. It has a good safety profile and is allowed to be used at a max concentration of 5% both in the US and in Europe (10% is allowed in Japan). https://incidecoder.com/ingredients/ethylhexyl-salicylate
