Benzyl Benzoate occurs naturally in Balsam of Peru, Tolu balsam, and some flowers. It is sometimes used as an insect repellent.

Treatment of Scabies: Benzyl benzoate is applied as a lotion to the skin to eliminate scabies mites and their larvae. It helps relieve intense itching, redness, and rashes caused by the infestation. It promotes faster healing and reducing the risk of reinfestation or transmission to others.
Treatment of Lice (Pediculosis): It is effective against head lice, body lice, and pubic lice. It kills both adult lice and their eggs, alleviating itching and irritation while preventing further spread.
