Product Info:
Salicylic Acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) well known for its exfoliating and acne-fighting properties. It penetrates deep into pores, dissolving excess oil and dead skin cells to help prevent breakouts, blackheads, and clogged pores. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe redness and irritation, making it ideal for acne-prone and oily skin formulations. It is commonly used in facial cleansers, serums, toners, and spot treatments for clear and refined skin.

Formulation Guidelines:

• Dissolve in ethanol or propylene glycol before adding to the formulation.
• Works best in acidic formulations with a pH between 3.0 – 4.0.
• Suitable for leave-on and rinse-off products such as toners, serums, and exfoliating masks.
• Can be combined with Niacinamide and other acne-fighting ingredients for enhanced efficacy.
• Avoid combining with strong AHAs in the same formulation to prevent irritation.
