Phenyl salicylate, or salol, is a chemical substance. It was introduced in 1886 by Marceli Nencki of Basel. It can be created by heating salicylic acid with phenol. It has been used as an intestinal antiseptic based on the antibacterial activity upon hydrolysis in the small intestine. This compound was also once used in sunscreens. Phenyl salicylate is used in the manufacture of some polymers, lacquers, adhesives, waxes and polishes.[1]
