I don't recall ever talking about Benzyl Benzoate. I forget now.
I think one of the ingredients in ZZ is boric acid. I could be wrong. That's the same chemical used to kill most insects. It's also used a preservative in contact lense solutions and cleansers. Very non-toxic to humans. But probably effective against demodex mites.
I found a link on wikipedia on benzyl benzoate:

Seems to say that it kills mites. Might be worth looking into.
