Description :
Salicylic Acid is a white, crystalline organic acid. It is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) widely recognized for its excellent keratolytic, anti-inflammatory, and exfoliating properties. Naturally found in plants such as willow bark, Salicylic Acid is extensively used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and the chemical industries.
Due to its ability to penetrate pores and promote exfoliation, Salicylic Acid is a key active ingredient in acne treatment products and skin care formulations. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in the synthesis of aspirin (acetylsalicylic Acid) and other pharmaceuticals.
Used in topical formulations to treat acne, psoriasis, dandruff, and other skin conditions. It is also a vital intermediate in the manufacture of aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs.
Widely incorporated in skincare products like cleansers, toners, and exfoliants due to its ability to exfoliate dead skin cells and unclog pores.
It is utilized as a starting material or intermediate for synthesizing dyes, perfumes, and preservatives.
It is used as a preservative and antimicrobial agent in specific food applications.
