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[1][2].
