Benzyl Benzoate: ONLY use the amount of Benzyl Benzoate that is directed on the instruction. Skin irritation &/or rash are common side effects. See: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/benzyl-benzoate-topical-route/proper-use/drg-20062209?p=1#:~:text=Benzyl%20benzoate%20is%20used%20to,is%20available%20without%20a%20prescription.
