Salicylic acid Usage
Cosmetics and Skincare (Acne Treatment & Exfoliation): As a fat-soluble saponin acid (BHA), it can penetrate deep into pores to dissolve oil. It is widely used in acne creams, toners, and exfoliating masks, providing pore-unclogging, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and gentle exfoliation benefits.
Pharmaceutical Raw Material: Used in the manufacture of drugs such as sodium salicylate and methyl salicylate. In dermatology, it is commonly used in ointments to treat psoriasis, athlete’s foot, and hyperkeratosis. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to produce antipyretics, analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and diuretics.
Fragrances and Industrial Synthesis: It is an important intermediate in the synthesis of various food flavorings, dyes (acid mordant dyes), and rubber retardant vulcanizing agents.
