Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created using several sources including: http://www.botanical-dermatology-database.info/BotDermFolder/SALI.html; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15725287; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9455642; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19665455

Salicyl alcohol is used as a local anesthetic and antiinflammatory. A light brown crystalline powder, stable, incompatible with acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, strong oxidizing agents. It was found in bark of willow tree family and aspen Populus tremula. It is a well-known allergen in phenol-formaldehyde resins found to cause allergic contact dermatitis. Antioxidant activity of 2-hydroxybenzyl alcohol has been reported.

Originator

Curator's Comment: In 1830 found that salicyn that he extracted from the the willow tree bark is a glycoside of salicyl alcohol
