Description:
Salicylic Acid is a beta hydroxy acid found in many plants but it’s most well know source is White Willowor Salix alba from which it’s name is derived.
Topically, Salicylic acid is most commonly found in products used to combat acne and other skin conditions such as dandruff. It acts as a comdeolytic and bateriostatic agent meaning it stimulates the shedding off dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and inhibits the growth of potentially acne-causing bacteria. These properties also make it useful as a ‘chemical peel’.
Uses:
- Can be used for skin peels, anti-dandruff products, and in products for oily, acneic and/or blemished skin
- Ideal for making products that need higher concentrations of salicylic acid
