Benzyl benzoate is an organic compound which is used as a medication and insect repellent.[1] As a medication it is used to treat scabies and lice.[2] For scabies either permethrin or malathion is typically preferred.[3] It is applied to the skin as a lotion.[2] Typically two to three applications are needed.[2] It is also present in Balsam of Peru, Tolu balsam, and in a number of flowers.[4]
Side effects may include irritation of the skin.[2] It is not recommended in children.[3] It is also used in other animals; however, it is considered toxic to cats.[1] How it works is unclear.[5]
Benzyl benzoate was first studied medically in 1918.[1] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[6] Benzyl benzoate is sold under the brand name Scabanca among others and is available as a generic medication.[1][3] It is not available for medical use in the United States.[1]
